Silk-screen on Schoeller Durex paper // Kent State by Richard Hamilton, created in 1970, is a limited edition silkscreen print on Schoeller Durex paper that reflects on the tragic events at Kent State University earlier that year. The artwork fuses elements of documentary photography with graphic design, using a blurred and distorted image reminiscent of a television broadcast to capture the tension and chaos of the moment. The hazy depiction evokes a sense of immediacy and disorientation, highlighting Hamilton’s sensitivity to the socio-political climate of the time. The large format (74 cm × 102 cm) amplifies the emotional impact, inviting viewers to confront the historical significance and reflect on themes of violence, media representation, and freedom of expression.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
