| The art world from her high horse to lift and place them in relation to the world of images in advertising graphics, comics and the mass media to set the turning and turning point of the art of Roy Lichtenstein, the 1923 in New York (USA), was born, where he 1997, died. And then mingle in his art and popular culture. In a reduced visual language to the language of form is reminiscent of comics, limited to simple technical means: only primary colors, simple, clear-cut and contoured black color, halftone dots, as they also occur when printing ... This he deliberately denies the artistic personality, his genius, by increasing their own handwriting disappear. The language of comics is to the artworld - speech centers and irony, the banality and superficiality of the art and advertising world visible. Seemingly great emotions, ideas, ways of behavior are often a little mockingly trivializes and questioned. The cliché is disclosed and the "great emotion" trivialized. But even with the art market and art history "expects" Lichtenstein off by his style variations of famous masterpieces creates its models - the motives are mixed, the presentation will be interchangeable and the reality in the presentation of the art directly questioned. © ArtLogistics |
