Abstract

British art education in the early 1960s was a shifting landscape. Father of Pop-Art Richard Hamilton was a forerunner of this change at Durham University. Mark Lancaster was a student of Hamilton who went on to experience success beyond the art school in both England and America. His works are characterized by the use of geometric patterns, the provenance of which can be seen to emanate from Lancaster's studies under Hamilton. Independently Lancaster developed his personal art style and expanded his overt to encompass stage design.
