On View
Not on viewRichard Hamilton obtains imagery directly from television, but he is concerned more with the content. In an image inspired by this medium, he has sought to transfer the emotion surrounding the tragic event at Kent State through various means of mechanical reproduction, from film to video to still camera, and finally to print.
