Description:
The most remarkable thing about this 49-minute interview is the pop artist's candor in describing his process, both his search for subjects and his painting techniques. His openness makes this video a treat for the Lichtenstein aficionado and a valuable lesson for any art student. In keeping with his lifelong investigation of what constitutes art, the controversial painter willingly discusses criticism suggesting his work does not meet the criteria. Meanwhile a cartoonist whose work he copied weighs in on Lichtenstein, as well as a gallery owner and museum curator. The program looks at the pop art movement for context and takes viewers through each of Lichtenstein's stages from his large-dot reproductions of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse to his cartoon versions of Picasso through to his work of and for the New York City subway system. Whether or not one views him as a serious artist, it's clear that this painter has spent a lifetime being serious about art. --Kimberly Heinrichs
