When Greenwood emigrated to Canada from England in 1965, he brought with him not only a wealth of knowledge about British contemporary art but also the advantages of the close connections he had made with up-and-coming young British artists. Greenwood met Richard Hamilton when they both attended the Royal Academy school in London and they remained great friends, affording Greenwood the opportunity to acquire his friend's innovative work and to host Hamilton's visits to Toronto as a guest lecturer at York University.
