MERTON OF THE MOVIES EXHIBITION POSTER. MILD SCRATCHES AS SHOWN. DIMENSIONS: 32″H x 21″W. Roy Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997) was active/lived in New York. Roy Lichtenstein is known for Pop imagery cartoon painting. Born: 1923 – New York City. Died: 1997 – New York City. Roy Lichtenstein is remembered as one of the 20th century’s greatest and most influential artists. An excellent painter and sculptor, Lichtenstein was a pioneer whose unique visual language became the transitional voice between the modern and post-modern art movements of the late 20th century. Fine, Curator of Modern Prints and Drawings for the National Gallery of Art, distinguishes four areas of Lichtenstein’s work that became “potent forces in late 20th Century art”. 1the breakdown of barriers between art and life, using everyday objects and subjects appropriate to consumer culture. 2an exploration of art based on other art. 3an interest in serial imagery, and. 4participation in the untraditional medium of printmaking. Born in New York City in 1923, Roy grew up in a city that epitomized the ideals and machinations of modernism. He therefore gained a unique understanding of the affects of modern life on the solitary soul, the group, and the society at-large. Growing up during the depression years and coming of age at the start of World War II, he was greatly influenced by the jazz clubs of Harlem and the boxing matches and carnivals of Coney Island. At the age of 14, he began classes at Parson’s School of Design, and at 16 he studied at the Art Students League under Reginald Marsh, and by 1940 he was enrolled as a painting major at Ohio State University, Columbus. He began his artistic career as an abstract expressionist painter exploring the ideas of spontaneity and the “epoch of crisis” inherent in action painting. As America began to move past the effects of World War II and into prosperous times, art no longer needed to be an emotional reaction to the effects of nuclear war and industrialization. Instead, it became a commentary on American prosperity and the commercial boom that resulted from the war efforts. Roy Lichtenstein’s paintings and prints are the embodiment of this change. By 1961 Roy began to use objects and images from mass culture and advertising. He adapted painting techniques and imagery from comic strips, commercial printing, stenciling, and projected images. Good Morning, Darling,, Whaam! (1963), and Big Painting VI (1965) are among his most popular comic strip paintings. These blowups of the original cartoon were reproduced by hand and brought him unparalleled attention. His art consisted of black outlines, stripes, dots, brushstrokes, flat fields, foils, and patterns such as canvas weave and wood grain. The idea of appropriating imagery from popular culture transformed Lichtenstein into a leader of the New York City based pop art movement along with artists like Andy Warhol. During this time he also produced elegant sculptures that revived earlier forms of the 1930s, as seen in his Modern Sculpture with Glass Wave(1967). Roy Lichtenstein’s Bull Profile Series is one of his most popular series of his lithographic works. Completed in 1973, Lichtenstein’s purpose during this period was to explore the “progression of an image from representation to abstraction”. To illustrate this progression, Roy’s Bull unfolds in 7 different phases. Beginning with a monochromatic palette, he gradually breaks down the form into many geometrical compliments, he sections the picture plane using areas of color and diagonal lines. These shapes become more abstract until they are simply flat planes of color. Working with stencils, Roy Lichtenstein developed a technique using rows of dots that mimicked the commercial printing patterns used in the production of comic books. This resemblance was further emphasized by Lichtenstein’s selection of a palette of bright primary colors that replicated the chromatic range of comic books. In addition, the artist has produced several large scale sculptures commissioned for public places, most notably Mermaid in Miami Beach. Lichtenstein’s unconventional paintings, regarded by many as beyond the bounds of fine art during the 1960s, are now considered icons of the Pop Art movement and have secured the artist’s place in art history. Roy Lichtenstein has had retrospectives at the Tate Gallery in London, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Other than paintings and sculptures, the artist produced a number of prints for which he used different techniques: lithographs, screenprints, etchings and woodcuts. Often he combined these techniques in one print. Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, NY). Amon Carter Museum of American Art (Fort Worth, TX). Art Institute of Chicago (Chicago, IL).
