Biography
British painter born in London. Hamilton was a member of the Independent Group, formed in the 1950s by a group of artists and writers at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, whose symposiums contributed to the development of Pop art in Britain.

He returned in 1946 to the Royal Academy Schools, from which he was expelled then attended the Slade School of Art from 1948 to 1951. 1946-47 National Service, Royal Engineers.
