In December 1977, Images Gallery—a studio owned by Bob Persky [7] at 11 East 57th Street in Manhattan—showed his photographs at the same time that Bilitis [8] was released. [5] At that time, art critic Gene Thornton wrote in The New York Times that they reveal "the kind of ideal that regularly was expressed in the great paintings of the past". Hamilton has said that his work looks for "the candor of a lost paradise". In his book, Contemporary Photographers, curator Christian Caujolle wrote that Hamilton worked only with two fixed devices: "a clear pictorial intention and a latent eroticism, ostensibly romantic, but asking for trouble". [9] In the late 1990s, conservative Christian groups in America unsuccessfully protested against bookstores selling Hamilton's photography books. [13] As Chris Warmoll, writing for The Guardian in 2005, commented, "Hamilton's photographs have long been at the forefront of the 'is it art or pornography?' debate." [14]
