Sunrise, 1975

Richard Hamilton’s edition Sunrise blends painterly atmosphere with technical experimentation, capturing the fleeting radiance of dawn through soft gradations of color. Produced in 1975 as part of the group portfolio Landscapes, the work exemplifies Hamilton’s innovative use of printmaking processes, here combining collotype with silkscreen to achieve subtle tonal effects alongside vivid contrasts. Evocative and quietly cinematic, Sunrise reflects Hamilton’s lifelong interest in the intersections of perception, reproduction, and modern visual culture.
