    And it’s by Roy Lichtenstein!! Cool.

  4. I know the main value of Lichtenstein's work is not the depiction or representation itself, but rather its selection and the elevation of the aesthetic of comics to high art, but this still feels kind of lame to see. This is all downstream of the bullshit that Duchamp did to art IMO which you just have to accept or just continue hating forever.

  8. An Iranian museum holds a rare exhibit of American art, reflecting on war

    TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — "The artworks are distinctly American — famed pieces in vivid colors wrestling with themes of war, violence, pop culture and commercialism. What’s startling is where they’re on display: In a museum in the Iranian capital, at a time the two countries are locked in conflict.

    "While the city’s streets are lined with anti-American billboards and posters, #Tehran’s Museum of Contemporary Art opened an exhibit this week of six works by three American Pop artists of the 1960s -- #RoyLichtenstein, #RobertIndiana and #JamesRosenquist – mainly chosen for their #AntiWar themes.

    "The works come from the museum’s large collection of masterpieces of American and European modern art that was acquired by the wife of the former shah in the 1970s. Most of it has been kept out of view since the Western-backed monarch was ousted by the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

    "After living under #USIsraeli bombardment for weeks, the young men and women strolling the gallery felt a resonance from the works.

    "Some contemplated #Rosenquist’s 'F-111,' a collage dating to the era of the U.S. bombardment of #Vietnam that critiques America’s #MilitaryIndustrialComplex with images of a warplane’s fuselage, a #nuclear #MushroomCloud and a child’s face."

  13. Dziś obchodzimy rocznicę urodzin Roya Lichtensteina, urodzonego 27 października 1923 roku. To jeden z ojców chrzestnych pop-artu, słynny z obrazów przypominających komiksy i eksperymentowania z kulturą masową. „Whaam!” albo „Drowning Girl” to klasyki XXI-wiecznego spojrzenia na sztukę.
