ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Roy Lichtenstein, 1923-1997
If Roy Lichtenstein is not a name you are familiar with, you had better start reading up on him now because he will be EVERYWHERE this spring: the Lichtenstein retrospective will be opening at London’s Tate Modern on February 21st, and is likely to eclipse the new Kurt Schwitters show that has just opened at Tate Britain.
Lichtenstein is one of those artists whose style is instantly recognisable. The paintings of the American Pop giant were inspired by comic-strips, and were often made up of individual dots to create the illusion of matte colour from afar. His piece Whaam! has been in the Tate’s collection for years, but the show has also pulled in some of Lichtenstein’s most well known pieces from American collections, such as Drowning Girl from the Museum of Modern Art in New York. I hope to be seeing this show at some point, so look out for my review of it!
