Artists' Visions

Roy Lichtenstein

Feb 14, 1991


Nan Rosenthal, curator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., moderates a discussion with American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. Lichtenstein shares slides of his work and reflects on his development as an artist. He discusses the procedure of his work, his appropriation and distortion of vernacular culture, the significance of brush strokes in his paintings, his work as a commercial artist in the 1950s, and the influence of his drafting experience on his artistic language. The discussion is followed with questions from the audience.
