Art Movement
Lichtenstein was a very popular artist in the Pop Art movement. Even if he wasn't the founder of that movement, I think he influenced with period a lot. He was one of the first artists who started using comics and cartoons in his paintings.
I know how you must feel, Brad!
I like this picture because Lichtenstein showed really good the emotions of this woman and how she is feeling. And I like it that it is black. and white, it has a very cool "filter". I think the style Lichtenstein used, to put comics in his drawings or like sayings is a very good idea. And I think this picture is very impressive since it consists of a lot of tiny dots which you can see when you get closer. This is definitely one of my favorite pictures from Lichtenstein.
