Product Description

Amazon.ca

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Intro to Lichtenstein Sep 3 2012
By art lover
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although this DVD started out as a video in 1990, it is not dated because it provides a relevant and illuminating look at the artist. It includes extensive interviews with the artist as well as with commentators, not all of whom admire his work. Definitely worth watching for anyone interested in the American pop art movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have! Oct 8 2000
By schwank - Published on Amazon.com
Format:VHS Tape
This video is one of the best art films I have viewed in a long time, awesome! This film shows Roy at work and the viewer is introduced to the complexity behind the art of Roy Lichtenstein. This is a must have for any artist or art teacher who is interested in modern art and one of the greatest American artists ever!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful 1990 documentary on the pop art icon with lots of interview footage. Aug 16 2010
By Steven I. Ramm - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
You know you are in for an interesting documentary on Pop Art artist Roy Lichtenstein when the "Menu" appears and the soundtrack consists of Duane Eddy's "Rebel Rouser" and a Germanic take on Barrett Strong's hit "Money (that's what I want)". And the 51 minutes pass quickly.

This 51-minute film (it wasn't shot on video) was made in 1990 - so its 20 years old- but is making its debut on DVD in the wonderful Arthaus series imported by Naxos. You can tell it is not new because Lichtenstein was "preparing" to do his largest mural for the 42nd Street subway station in New York and you can see what the OLD 42nd Street station looked like. There is lots of interview footage of Lichtenstein explaining his art and why he got into recreating comic strips.

Lichtenstein's art is nearly always fun and very accessible for the average guy to appreciate. This film shows this. The bonus features include a photo gallery. Also the film comes with either an English soundtrack or one in German. (But you still get Duane Eddy and "Money"!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!!! Feb 26 2003
By Doug Goessman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:VHS Tape
This is an outstanding look at one of the most celebrated american artists ever. The video takes you into the beginnings of this great man's career thru today. There is some very interesting & informative conversations with Lichtenstein on his reason, technique, and perseptions on and about his art. He is an artist who is serious about his work but seems to take a humerous and lightened approach to the content and source for his art. RFL is truly a pioneer for modern American art and this video is sure to please those avid RFL and Pop art fans.
