Patricia Knight II

Patricia Knight II is a striking aquatint by British Pop Art pioneer Richard Hamilton, executed with masterful use of a scraper and burnisher on Rives BFK paper. The work exemplifies Hamilton's meticulous printmaking technique, where the rich tonal depths of aquatint are refined and manipulated to achieve subtle gradations of light and shadow. Printed with full margins, the work reflects Hamilton's precise and cerebral approach to the medium, blending technical virtuosity with his characteristic engagement with imagery and representation.
