Recently I attended the opening of the Roy Lichtenstein retrospective at the Pompidou. How could I resist a major American artist from the Pop Art era? Though little did I know the breadth of his artistic skill until I walked through the galleries exhibiting his over 100 works. Many pieces were not allowed to be photographed, but I did my best to curate my own mini Lichtenstein exhibit for those who aren’t able to make it, or to entice those who can, to go. Capturing both his sculptures and his paintings, well beyond the world of Pop. Well worth the visit into the mind and life of an artist.
“I want my painting to look as if it has been programmed. I want to hide the record of my hand.”
“The subjects aren’t what holds my interest.”
“Brushtrokes are almost a symbol of art.”
“I’ve always wanted to make up someone as a cartoon.”
Exhibition runs now until November 4th.
Oh wow I’m not a huge modern art fan but I love the stuff you posted!!!
It’s a show worth seeing, Andi!
I snapped some of these same pieces when I was at Centre Pompidou this past summer also. Funny to leave the US to go to Paris and see…a major US artist.
Makes you appreciate how international art has become. Glad you got to see the expo!
