ROY LICHTENSTEIN (New York, 1923 - 1997).
"Crying girl, 1963.
Offset lithograph.
Publisher: Leo Castelli Gallery, New York.
Unsigned.
Work published in D.Waldman, "Roy Lichtenstein". London, 1971, p. 244, no. 55.
Size: 45 x 60 cm; 54 x 69 cm (frame).
Roy Lichtenstein, a pioneer of the Pop Art movement, drew on the aesthetics of 1950s comic books for his iconic Crying Girl prints. Exploring different depictions of women in distress, Lichtenstein created two versions of Crying Girl, a lithograph in 1963 and an enamel on multiple steel the following year. The women, both blonde and red-lipped, look away as tears well up in their eyes. Although Lichtenstein often used dialogue balloons in his compositions, The Weeping Women has no text, allowing the viewer to draw their own conclusions about the cause of the women's sorrows. Although now a celebrated work, Crying Girl was controversial when it was first published because of its simple, cartoonish style.
Lichtenstein's work falls within the framework of pop art. He was a painter, graphic artist and sculptor, and is best known for his large-scale interpretations of comic art. He began his training at the Art Student's League and later studied fine art at Ohio State University, where he received his doctorate in 1949. After an initial period of abstract expressionism, in 1957 he began experimenting with images taken from the comics on chewing gum wrappers, freely interpreted and mixed with images taken from paintings of the Old West. From 1961 onwards he began to paint vignettes in large formats, in which he exaggerated and redefined the original formal elements. The figures are enclosed in thick black strokes, the dots of the photogravure grid and the lines indicating the shadows are enlarged, and large surfaces of flat colour strictly organise the space. Like other pop artists, he uses images from popular commercial art, such as cartoon characters or advertisements, but his work also sometimes ironically draws on other artistic styles, such as action painting in his "Brochazos" series. From the 1970s onwards he also devoted himself to sculpture.His works can be seen in the most important museums in the world such as the MoMA, the Whitney, the Metropolitan and the Guggenheim in New York, the MOCA in Los Angeles, the Fine Arts Museums of Helsinki, Zurich, Basel, Naples, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Budapest, Vienna, St. Petersburg and Tokyo among others, the Tate Gallery in London, the Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, the National Gallery in Washington D.C. and the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, among many others.
