| Description | This video brought to you by Tate.org.uk Roy Lichtenstein is one of America's foremost pop artists. In the 1960s, he broke with the established traditions of abstract expressionism, choosing instead to create paintings that mimicked the the techniques of printed materials (such as the famous Ben-Day dots) and drawing on popular imagery from comic strips, advertisements, and other printed sources. Lichtenstein makes us think about the paradox of being an artist -- someone who we often think of using their hands to make something -- in an age of mechanically produced and printed images. This mass production of images challenged not only the tradition of hand-painting but also the perceived originality of painters at the time, so Lichtenstein created work that both drew on and parodied popular imagery. Take a look back in time at Lichtenstein’s legacy through a few of his key paintings, like Whaaam (1963). Lichtenstein once said: "The things I have parodied, I really admire." How could that be? How do you think art can celebrate and critique something at once? |
