In a letter from 1957 written to architects and fellow Independent Group members Peter and Alison Smithson, Richard Hamilton listed his definition of the popular arts. He wrote, art is: Popular (designed for a mass audience), Transient (short-term solution), Expendable (easily-forgotten), Low Cost, Mass Produced, Young (aimed at youth), Witty, Sexy, Gimmicky, Glamorous, Big business.l Hamilton and the Smithsons had all recently contributed to Is Tomorrow, Theo Crosby's multidisciplinary, multimedia exhibition on art as a cultural process, and were thinking of working together on a follow-up. After his list, Hamilton hesitates: This is just a beginning. Perhaps the first part of our task is the analysis of Pop Art and the production of a table. I find I am not yet sure about the 'sincerity' of Pop Art. Although he capitalized pop art, making it into a proper noun and so recognizing mass-produced goods as a properly definable phenomenon, he was still unconvinced that these objects were worthy of serious attention. He hesitated because, although the IG had been examining popular goods for some time, he was still unsure if they were no more than just passing fads
