Very good A significant association copy of this early Richard Hamilton-designed catalogue for the Hatton Gallery's 1957 Gods and Men exhibition with a Pop Art flavour though not fully "young witty gimmicky glamorous and Big Business" as he later wrote from the collection of Holland and Hamilton's Durham University colleague fellow artist art lecturer and husband of Julia Strachey Lawrence Gowing and indeed commanding: "return to L.G." on its title page. Lawrence Gowing then Professor of Fine Art at King's College University of Durham now the University of Newcastle had recruited Richard Hamilton in 1952 to teach design; he later developed a 'basic course' for first-year students with Victor Pasmore remaining on the staff until 1966 and as this catalogue indicates helped with exhibitions at the Hatton Gallery designing and printing the posters and catalogues in house. The intellectual father of Pop Art or 'Pop Daddy' also exhibited his own work at the Hatton Gallery which two years earlier in 1955 hosted his important photographic installation Man Machine and Motion ahead of its move to the ICA. The Gods and Men exhibition featured Stephen Tomlin's head of Lytton Strachey lent by Julia Strachey "Mrs Lawrence Gowing" and previously Mrs Stephen Tomlin as well as three Epstein busts at the modern end plus C19th carvings from New Zealand New Ireland the Solomon Islands Luba and New Britain and Egyptian Egypto-Roman and Romano-British wood and stone heads.
