Art College & Richard Hamilton
Ferry attends Newcastle University and is taught Fine Art by Richard Hamilton, the founder of Pop Art and a visionary who outlined its aims and ideals. A lollipop from one of his early collages ‘Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing’ furnished the movement with its title. This painting would later be an inspiration for Ferry’s 1973 song ‘In Every Dreamhome a Heartache’.
