Roy Lichtenstein at Gagosian Gallery
Penguin June 11th, 2008
“[The kind of girls I painted were] really made up of black lines and red dots. I see it that abstractly, that it’s very hard to fall for one of these creatures, to me, because they’re not really reality to me. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t have a clichéd ideal, a fantasy ideal, of a woman that I would be interested in. But I think I have in mind what they should look like for other people.”
–Roy Lichtenstein
I remember seeing Lichtenstein’s stuff when I was a kid and liked it because I thought it was just blown up comic book panels. It wasn’t until later that I learned that he painted those dots.
It runs through June 28th at Gagosian Gallery, 980 Madison Avenue, near 77th Street, (212) 744-2313, gagosian.com
