(*) The painter and sculptor who plundered comics to turn them into museum material.
Roy Lichtenstein was one of the key figures of American pop art and as such he drew inspiration for his work from both popular art: commercials, magazines, comics. . . ; and from traditional art history: Art Deco, Cubism, Abstract Expressionism (in which he was active at the beginning of his career) . . .
Lichtenstein's work is characterized by its irony (something that pop artists boasted about, sometimes disguised as snobbery or superficiality. . .) , the use of benday dots (used in graphic arts) and industrial colors, the language of comics (onomatopoeia, vignettes, narrative) and the mastery of the line.
Lichtenstein began his career in the trendy abstract expressionism, but soon joined the rest of the pop guerrilla movement in rebelling against abstraction and using figuration. Moreover, the more popular and mechanical a figuration is, the better.
Of course, in 1958 there was nothing more popular and mechanical than a comic book, so Lichtenstein decided that he was going to create mass-produced commercial images.
Of course. . . what looks like a machine did is reproduced by hand.
These images were faithful portraits of consumer society and mass culture, which may or may not be a critique of the contemporary world, an idealization or a satire of Western capitalist society.
This ambiguity between criticism and admiration, between mockery and respect is typical of pop art, which cynically plays at a masquerade.
Born in New York, Lichtenstein lived in this city, the capital of everything that pop represents, and died there at the age of 73, consecrated as an artist who sold paintings for more than 40 million euros.
