A richly layered work by Richard Hamilton, *Fashion-Plate (Cosmetic Study IX)* combines lithography with collage, acrylic, pastel, and actual cosmetics to blur the boundary between fine art and consumer culture. Hamilton manipulates the language of fashion and advertising imagery, embedding the very materials of beauty and glamour directly onto the surface of the paper. As one of twelve unique works in the series, each piece carries its own distinct character, reflecting Hamilton's enduring fascination with mass media, desire, and the constructed nature of femininity.
