摘要
极富盛誉的英国流行艺术家Richard Hamilton（1922年～2011年）在为一张1956年创作的、描绘家庭室内的照片拼贴作品命名时,自问道：＂是什么使今天的家庭如此独特、如此具有魅力？＂作品中一个健美运动员和一个穿着极少的年轻女郎正在一间配备了一些当时最伟大的技术产品的客厅里摆着造型,一个女仆手持吸尘器13步长的软管末端的手柄正在打扫楼梯,一个明显的提示指向楼梯中间的一级台阶,上面写道＂普通的清洁器只能达到这里。＂
＂Just what is it that makes today＇s homes so different, so appealing？＂ Richard Hamilton （1922-2011）, the acclaimed British pop artist, asked himself this question in 1956 to name a photo collage rendering a home interior, in which a body builder and a top-less young woman were pos- ing in a living room equipped with some of the greatest technologies of the time. A maid is vacuuming the stairs, brandishing the handle at the end of a thirteen-steps-long hose. A highlighted note prays, pointing at one of the steps in the middle of the stairs, ＂ordinary cleaners reach only this far＂. For the following decades, Hamilton went deeper into this idea of analyzing each time＇s society by representing its interior, technology- equipped, domestic spaces, but nevertheless always including a subtle critic in his views.
