(*) The painter and sculptor who plundered the comic to turn it into museum material.
Roy Lichtenstein was one of the key figures of American pop, drawing inspiration for his work from both popular art—advertisements, magazines, comics—and the history of traditional art: Art Deco, Cubism, Abstract Expressionism (which he embraced early in his career)…
Lichtenstein’s work is characterized by irony (something pop artists boasted about, sometimes masked as snobbery or superficiality…), the use of Ben-Day dots (used in graphic arts) and industrial colors, the language of comics (onomatopoeia, panels, narrative) and a mastery of line.
Lichtenstein started in the fashionable Abstract Expressionism, but soon joined the rest of the pop guerrilla to rebel against abstraction and embrace figuration. Moreover, a figurative style that is as popular and mechanical as possible.
Undoubtedly, in 1958 there was nothing more popular and mechanical than a comic, so Lichtenstein decided to create mass-produced commercial imagery.
Yes… what appears to be machine-produced is drawn by hand.
Those images were faithful portraits of a consumer society and mass culture, which may be a critique of the contemporary world, an idealization, or a satire of Western capitalist society.
That ambiguity between critique and admiration, between mockery and respect, is typical of pop art, which cynically plays with a masquerade.
Born in New York, Lichtenstein lived in this city, the capital of everything pop represents, and he would die there at the age of 73, revered as an artist who sold paintings for more than 40 million euros.
