Roy Lichtenstein Boeken

Eind jaren 50, begin jaren 60 werd de Amerikaanse schilder Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) een van de belangrijkste vertegenwoordigers van Pop Art - de beweging die produkten van de massaconsumptie en amusementsindustrie transformeerde tot kunstvoorwerpen. Deze verheerlijking van gewone alledaagse voorwerpen vertegenwoordigde tegelijkertijd een kritiek op het traditionele elitaire begrip van kunst. Als een van de weinige kunstenaars achtervolgde Lichtenstein de vraag hoe een beeld een kunstwerk wordt. Uitgave van De Volkskrant - Moderne Meesters #20 Vertaling: Jan Wynsen

Walker Evans' radical photography of the 1930s demonstrated that unembellished photographic fact could serve as a highly poetic language. These works expanded the potential of the art of photography and at the same time defined a lasting iconography that recognized advertising, movies and car culture as central images of modern American identity. Walker Evans & Company focuses on Evans as a central figure in the arts of the 1920s and 30s, and includes works in photography and other mediums that influenced Evans or were influenced by him, or which resonate in a significant way with aspects of his imagery, sensibility and style. Among the other artists whose work is featured Eugene Atget, Mathew Brady, Stuart Davis, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Edward Hopper, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, August Sander, Andy Warhol and Edward Weston. Published in conjunction with the second of three cycles of millennial exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
