Quotes
-
Roy Lichtenstein : Pop art is part of a continuity through the 20th century which includes collage, Dada, purism - that sort of snaky continuity dealing with sign and symbols problems. It's the opposite of abstract painting.
-
Roy Lichtenstein : My work sanitizes it, but it's also symbolic, I suppose, of commercial art sanitizing human feelings. I think that it has to be read that way even though I don't know if that's purposeful on my part.
-
Roy Lichtenstein : I use a mirror to see the painting reversed, because I've been working on the painting so long that one gets used to everything in it, and when you suddenly look in the mirror, the things that are wrong to you seem to be more emphasized because you're seeing the image as though you're seeing it over again or seeing it for the first time.
