  Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu (b), 2011, Richard Hamilton's final and unfinished work, uses computer-generated images overpainted by hand. Photograph: Estate of Richard Hamilton Richard Hamilton was one of Britain's most brilliant artists, a 20th-century visionary who invented pop art and went on to map out a cool, ironic, yet politically pugnacious meeting of conceptualism and painting.
