Richard Hamilton is often referred to as the 'father of Pop art'. The artist engaged with mass media through his series of paintings, installations and prints (some, like Unorthodox Rendition, 2010, in which he used politics, riots, war and terrorist acts as subject matter.

Swingeing London (1967-73), a series of works based on the arrest of Mick Jagger and Hamilton's gallerist Robert Fraser for drug possession, show how portraiture was of particular interest to him. These pictures, which include Tony Blair as a middle-aged maverick cowboy in Shock and Awe (2007-8), as well as televised speeches of Margaret Thatcher in Treatment Room (1983), can be read as reflections on a celebrity-obsessed media and critical comments on the governing powers at the time.
