Roy Lichtenstein: Pop remix
A National Gallery of Australia exhibition
Roy Lichtenstein: Pop remix traces the artist's print projects from the 1950s to the 1990s, exploring how the artist appropriated, transformed and 'remixed' numerous art historical sources including Claude Monet's Impressionism, Salvador Dali's Surrealism and de Kooning's Abstract Expressionism. Lichtenstein reinterpreted the work of these artistic giants and significant art movements using an instantly recognisable graphic aesthetic, effectively 'branding' himself with a signature Lichtenstein 'look' to secure his place alongside those masters he so admired. Slick, intelligent and humorous, Lichtenstein's 'remixes' of romance and war comics, brushstrokes and nude girls are among the best known Pop prints.
Roy Lichtenstein: Pop remix is drawn from the extensive collection of the artist's prints at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
The Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery is proud to be first to host, and the sole Victorian venue for this major touring exhibition.
