Catalogue Note
Diversamente da Warhol, pioniere dell’elaborazione serigrafica che trasferiva le sue immagini su tela, Lichtenstein innanzitutto ingigantiva e trasferiva le sue immagini a mano attraverso un processo minuzioso che eliminava insistentemente ogni dettaglio espressionistico della pennellata, spogliando ulteriormente l’immagine della sua rappresentazione naturalistica con l’accrescere della forte stilizzazione mutuata dal fumetto; “Voglio che il mio dipinto appaia come se fosse stato progettato. Voglio occultare il segno della mia mano.” (Roy Lichteinstein intervistato da John Coplans, in Pasadena, Art Museum, Roy Lichteinstein, 1967 p. 12)
