Watching Roy Lichtenstien’s video about turning Monet’s work into pop art really had me impressed. I loved the way Lichtenstien took a more classical piece of work and turned it into something so postmodern. The original piece uses traditional colors and is a realistic piece of art work, while the recreated piece only uses a couple colors and has high contrast. Each of Lichtenstien’s Monet pieces are in a series, showing the same Monet work in different colors. Although Monet’s work shows a visual texture, Lichtenstien’s recreated work does not, but instead uses ben-day dots.
I decided to research more on Roy Lichtenstien and found more recreated work from Leonardo Da Vinci. I love this piece of work because it adds a comical stance to it! It’s very funny and makes me appreciate Lichtenstien’s work a little more due to seeing more of his artistic personality in this piece!
