At the Independent Group's 1956 exhibition "This is Tomorrow," Richard Hamilton's collage Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?, considered by many the first example of Pop art, introduced postwar commodity culture as valid and expressive subject matter for art. Interior exhibits a similar range of popular imagery: a television, vacuum, and drapes accompany the central figure, taken from a washing machine advertisement, and a photograph of Claude Monet's daughter's drawing room.
