Lichtenstein and Sollfrank

In the reading of Art in the Age of Digital Distribution, an artist that I enjoy looking at his artwork is Roy Lichtenstein. His Pop Art reproduced like it was in comic books, and the use of using primary colors to make his artwork standout. In 1962 his painting “Blam” he  shows an airplane getting…

Lichtenstein/Kac

One artist that caught my eye was Roy Lichtenstein, a man who created comic book-inspired works on various mediums. Lichtenstein’s work is considered to be some of the earliest examples of pop art. I studied his piece ‘Whaam!’, which was inspired from an image in DC Comic’s All-American Men of War, and is also arguably one…

by Carlos Cuevas While reading Art in the Age of Digital Distribution, one artist that caught my attention was Natalie Bookchin.

As he himself puts it: “It’s about everything existing in a context.” He believes that art plays a role in which it changes our perception. The goal…

Robert Irwin response

Black and White are better understood as achromatic values, as they lack hue. The most interesting part of this artwork to me was how Irwin…

Robert Irwin

Irwin has a very unique aspect of how he looks at an object. I think that by doing this he broadens the limits of what an object should do corresponding to the space in which it is in. In one of the exhibitions space he has what is called”Light and Space II” This installation is…
