I have added a paragraph to the article about the meaning of the collage as I understand it. This is from my reading, but it is perilously close to original research. I think this aspect is far more interesting, and important to the germination of Pop art, than trivia about what theater someone saw Al Jolson perform in or where a tape recorder similar to the one pictured may or may not have been purchased.
A milestone of feminist art, this short black-and-white video reveals the suburban kitchen to be a war zone where routine food preparation masks the violent frustrations felt by women at being confined by the home. On a counter before her are a variety of utensils, each of which she picks up, names and proceeds to demonstrate, but with gestures that depart from the normal uses of the tool. In an ironic grammatology of sound and gesture, the woman and her implements enter and transgress the familiar system of everyday kitchen meanings.
Just What Is It That Makes Today’s Homes So Different, So Appealing?
In 1956, Hamilton created his famous collage Just What Is It That Makes Today’s Homes So Different, So Appealing? 3.This lecture aims to examine the relationship between things, space and everyday practices in the home.

Material World- ConsumerismWith rising personal wealth, consumption increasingly involves an appropriation of goods that goes far beyond the satisfaction of “needs” which might reasonably be regarded as basic (i.e. food, clothes, and shelter). In parts of the world where a large percentage of the population is well off, consumers are motivated by sometimes abstract “needs,” such as to communicate particular values or ideals, or to orient themselves socio-economically through their belongings. With rising personal wealth, consumption increasingly involves an appropriation of goods that goes far beyond the satisfaction of “needs” which might reasonably be regarded as basic (i.e. food, clothes, and shelter). We create our own aesthetic order and new objects have to be integrated into the order created by those already established. Some have a patina of affinity because of how long we have had them, or who we obtained them from or where they came from.

Other details were ‘grabbed’ directly from video tape or shot with a Kodak DCS 200 digital camera and transferred into a computer. A variety of proprietary software prepared the material for transfer into a Quantel Paintbox to be masked, cut out, resized, put into perspective and pasted into the image. The process, which included learning to use the new technology, too many weeks. The very durability and physicality of things make them liable to represent attributes which were not those that an individual desired them to convey, for example, that they are actually torn rather than whole, or not quite the same as the object they were supposed to replace.
No doubt all of us think about the decoration of our home environment, but do we always have an explicit reason why certain things are placed where they are? Don't we often place them in a given location because it feels like that is where they belong, as if our souvenirs and sentimental possessions arranged themselves through us? Answering these questions in the case of human beings is rather hard because of the extreme variability of human culture and, even within a given culture, the great diversity of human personalities. Increasing paranoid fixations with cleanliness being pumped into our house via the apocalyptic advertising campaigns for products that claim to be weapons in an increasingly dangerous and potentially fatal battle with our own homes.

In 2006, artist John McHale's son, John McHale Jr., said that his father claimed he was the creator of the image, having provided the original measured design and iconic material for the collage, including the magazines from which much of the collage was assembled. McHale said that the source material was his, sent to Hamilton from Yale University, where McHale was studying, and that Hamilton's role was simply "mechanical" cutting out and pasting according to McHale's design. It was divided into eleven immersive sections, each curated by a group of artists, architects, and other collaborators, who treated their contribution as a manifesto for contemporary, and future, visual culture. They each designed a poster and were given six pages in the exhibition catalogue.
One of these programmes was devoted entirely to the way in which occupants determine their relationship to the temporality of the house.One couple shown owned a stately home but felt the need at times to express the sense that it is was a living home and that they were not just curators of a museum. They therefore introduced some contemporary elements.Another couple only wanted genuine antiques and treasured the sense that `someone has loved it, treasured it, polished it from old. In considering ‘Taste’Ornament and Crime is an essay written in 1908 by the influential and self-consciously "modern" Austrian architect Adolf LoosThe essay was written when Art Nouveauwas about to show a new way of modern art. Explore the domestic interior and outline various historical and disciplinary conceptions of the ‘home’. Provide a historical overview of the ways in which designers, architects and visual cultures have conceived the home over the course of the 20th and 21st centuries. We will consider how the changing notions of domesticity and gender have informed this.
New Jersey is a state where a family can earn the equivalent of $100,000 a year if both parents are collecting unemployment benefits and ObamaCare subsidies for health care. In 24 states, unemployment benefits and ObamaCare subsidies for a family of four with no one working are the annualized equivalent of at least the national median household.

This work is a remake of an image Hamilton originally created in 1956 as part of his contribution to the influential group exhibition This is Tomorrow at Whitechapel Art Gallery. The original work is was one of Hamilton’s most famous images and has become an icon of British Pop art. As part of a 1992 BBC television programme he demonstrated how an artist can use a computer to generate art by recreating the 1956 collage in a way that reflected the 1990s, such as the circuit board wallpaper and caricature of Margaret Thatcher. Hamilton produced Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different? Tate’s copy is the fifth in an additional set of one hundred collaborator’s proofs. The edition was printed by Electronics for Imaging on A4 Mellotex paper using a Canon CLC 500 printer.
At Smarthistory, the Center for Public Art History, we believe art has the power to transform lives and to build understanding across cultures. Pelphrey played Laura Linney‘s brother in the Netflix drama, which ended its four-season run in April. Ben’s heartbreaking story line, which saw him grapple with bipolar disorder, ended when he was killed off in season 3. (He’d later reappear in a flashback sequence.) For Pelphrey, the material on the page is his main motivation to go out for a part. Tom Pelphrey isn’t slowing down — and his next role is anyone’s guess.
