ROY LICHTENSTEIN (1923-1997)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein was best known for his comic style parodies. Lichtenstein\u2019s early life consisted of him going to the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, where he would draw life drawings of musicians playing their music. Lichtenstein continued his art studies at the Ohio State University where he graduated and became an art instructor. Lichtenstein also taught at Rutgers University where he was first introduced to pop imagery by his colleague Allan Karpov. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

End of the Trail” (1951) is one of Lichtenstein’s earlier works. You can see that his style was very much like cubism and expressionism at the time.

As a fan of comic books, I really enjoy Roy Lichtenstein\u2019s work. I have been a fan of his work for some time as I dressed up as the “Crying Girl” for Halloween in grade nine. I think the reason why I wanted to dress up like one of Liechtenstein\u2019s screen prints is for the way Lichtenstein is able to capture the beauty of women. Screenprints such as \u201cCrying Girl\u201d 1963 is a simple headshot of a girl crying. However, what I find so captivating about this piece is for the girl\u2019s expression on her face. The girl is model like- similar to Marilyn Monroe and her red lipstick, yet she is expressing sadness. I think Lichtenstein was trying to convey a message of emotion, how even the most beautiful girls in the world can be sad too. Overall I enjoy his style of using flat colours with thick strokes. It helps exemplify the drama Lichtenstein likes to add to his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDrowning Girl\u201d (1963) depicts a girl in distress as she would \u201crather sink than call Brad for help\u201d. I really enjoy the variety of strokes Lichtenstein uses in the water as well as her hair. The dark black stroke help make the subject matter pop out of the water.

“In the Car” (1964) reminds me of Tamara de Lempicka’s “Tamara in the Green Bugatti”. However, in this image, it looks like the man next to her is controlling her life whereas Tamara looks like she is running her life according to how she wants to and does things her way.
