  • ichtenstein In ProcessAt Dixon Gallery And Gardens
    November 10, 2009

    As a Pop Art trailblazer in the 1960s, Roy Lichtenstein (1923‱997) captivated the art world with a fresh, new and exciting visual language. His iconoclastic style melded imagery from popular American culture with hard-edged commercial techniques from advertising and comic strips. His precisely applied bold primary colors, slanting stripes, Benday dots and thick black outlines made his work stand out. In choosing his subjects, Lichtenstein cast a wide net. With wit and skill he appropriated ideas from such Twentieth Century artistic titans as Picasso, Millet, Matisse and Monet, and popular entertainment characters like Dagwood Bumstead, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. The means by which the artist arrived at his iconic images is explored in a fascinating exhibition, ⁌ichtenstein in Process,†which is on view at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis, Tenn., through January 17. Originally organized by the Fundacion Juan March in collaboration with the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, the show comprises 65 preliminary sketches, drawings and collages, 1970s‱990s, which offer rare glimpses into the artist⁳ creative process.
