I personally like Roy
Lichtenstein’s work a lot. His works surrounds my favourite decade, the 60s.
The style of the 60s are so nice, the hair, the dress, the everything. I like
how his works are more to the entertainment side, that is, comedy, pop and
industrial. I believe these elements also contribute to the way I want to
pursue film making. His comic styled art works focuses on the expression of the
character, having showing only the head and face. The talk bubbles though only
involves a simple short sentence, but together with the expression of the
character, we get a sense of story and curiosity from the visual. Not only so,
his art works uses thick strokes and firm colours, hence giving it a bold and
hard-edged feel, and I favour these elements.
I noticed most of his art works involve blondes, though there
are a few with burettes and red-haired. In comparison, the blonde girls give a
more romantic and charming feel, as in more involved in love affairs. I think
this element is very important in his art works, as the stories are about love
affair itself. I like the way Roy Lichtenstein designed his artworks to
efficiently and beautifully portray his story telling.
