As a class visit to The
Art Institute of Chicago, Roy Liechtenstein's work was definitely one
that stood out from many of the other artists. Not only in the different
approach he had taken in terms of his paintings and drawings, but also in the
way he had tried to portray the artwork.
I really think it was amazing to see such
creativity and variety within the work of the same artist. His main focus was
artwork depicted through dots of different colors and sizes, which made up the
whole image. His work ranged from portraits and photos of landscapes as well.
It was outstanding to see how one can have so many variations through dots.
He also had pop art, which really attracted me.
Although the work was done in quite an older period of time, it still looks relevant
and modern in many ways. Something that also drew my attention to my eyes was
the fact that he had a lot of paintings that portrayed women in different
styles, either on daily home chores, or plating outdoors. It was interesting to
see how an artist of that era had given significance to women, and not just as
mere objects but as individual beings.
I appreciate his talents and can see from where
he was trying to show different forms of happenings around him. I also noticed
the detailed sketch he had made on a much smaller scale before actually painting
the large paintings, which I felt were fascinating as they were exactly the same,
besides the size. I felt like he had given a lot of abstract artwork as well,
and a lot of thought was put into each piece before being exhibited.
Personally, to me Roy Liechtenstein’s works were
one of the most memorable artworks I had even seen.
