  6. ROY LICHTENSTEIN

  7. From a 1964 article in LIFE Magazine… • A critic of the New York Times, hedging only a bit, pronounced Roy Lichtenstein "one of the worst artists in America." • Others insist that he is no artist at all, that his paintings of blown-up comic strips, cheap ads and reproductions are tedious copies of the banal. • But an equally emphatic group of critics, museum officials and collectors find Lichtenstein's pop art "fascinating"," forceful", "starkly beautiful". • Provocative though they are, Lichtenstein's paintings have done more than stir up controversy. They have done something significant to art.

  8. From a 1966 Interview by BBC Third Programme with David Sylvester… • David Sylvester: What do you think of as the main sources of your language? • Roy Lichtenstein: Well, I think in some ways, really, Cubism, but of course cartooning itself and commercial art are obviously an influence. But I think the aesthetic influence on me is probably more Cubism than anything. I think even the cartoons themselves are influenced by Cubism, because the hard-edged character which is brought about by the printing creates a kind of cubist look which perhaps wasn't intended.

  9. CUBISM vs. POP ART Pablo Picasso, Still Life with Mandolin Roy Lichtenstein, Cubist Still Life with Playing Cards Roy Lichtenstein, Self Portrait Pablo Picasso, Self Portrait

  10. Pop Art Project:Things to Consider • Notice use of bold primary and secondary colors • Consider use of text • Take into account emotion and drama in your photos

  11. Photo Assignment • For this project you will need to: • Take four photos that are appropriate for this assignment. This means: • Photos capturing emotion • You may want to have people pose for your photos • Close-up photos with a simple background • Have these photos ready to use in class by Monday, March 9th • Photos will be worth a grade (100 points)

  12. These are bad photos for this assignment… Cool pic -but not for this project, out of focus Blurry pic - too scattered, no focus point, bad lighting  Fun Pic – too detailed for this project. A close-up version of this pic would be better Beautiful sky – not right for this project

  13. These would be better photos to use… Shows emotion, could add text to make this photo more interesting Intriguing, serious, part of a story Shows emotion, visually interesting, simple background Romantic, pondering, focused figure Action, intensity, close-up
