1 Roy Lichtenstein 1923-1997 Pop Artist “I had always wanted to know the difference between a mark that was art and one that wasn’t”

2 Look Mickey, 1961, oil on canvas, 121.9 x 175.3 cm, National Gallery of Art

3 Masterpiece, 1962 Roy’s most famous paintings come from ideas he got from bubble gum wrappers, comic books, and advertisements. He used dots in his paintings similar to those used by printers.

4 Girl with Ball, 1961, oil on canvas, 153.7 x 92.7 cm., Museum of Contemporary Art, New York This painting was inspired by a newspaper ad. Roy took popular images that people saw every day and made them into works of art. The name Pop Art came from the work “popular.”

5 Turkey,1961, Oil on Canvas, 26” x 30”

6 In the Car, 1963, Oil on canvas, 203.2 x 172.7 cm Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, UK

7 The source for In the Car was Girls’ Romances number 78 (September 1961). Compare the comic book illustration to Lichtenstein’s painting. What elements are similar? What differences can you find?

8 Whaam! 1963, Acrylic paint and oil paint on canvas Dimensions Support: 1727 x 4064 mm frame: 1747 x 4084 x 60 mm Collection Tate

9 Girl Crying, 1963, Enamel on steel Many of Roy’s ideas for paintings came from romance comics aimed at teenagers. Why do you think the girl is crying?

10 Head with Blue Shadow, 1965 Roy created nearly 60 ceramic sculptures during his lifetime. He was interested in translating two- dimensional subjects, like cartoons, into three- dimensional objects.

11 Red Barn II, 1969, Oil on canvas,45” x 56”, Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany

12 Still Life with Goldfish, 1972, Oil on canvas, 52” x 42” Sometimes Roy based his paintings on fine art rather than comics or ads. This is an interpretation of a painting by Henri Matisse, Goldfish and Sculpture, 1911.

13 Roy poses in front of Mural with Blue Brushstroke, 1985, Equitable Life Assurance Society tower building, Manhattan This mural combines many elements of Roy’s earlier paintings. Can you spot anything that you have seen before? Can you find any other common images? Roy developed this mural by making collages, and then projecting the final design onto the wall.
