His works explored the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. My first forgery was Andy Warhol of Marilyn Monroe. I started of planing drawing what I'm going to paint on the the canvas. It wasn't that easy painting if only i didn't rush to get done i had a lot mistakes from trying to rush it to finish the painting. But I'm happy how it turned out and proud of myself getting the painting done.
Roy Lichtenstein
One of the most notable pop artists was the artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987). One of Andy Warhol's most famous paintings was that of a Campbell's soup can. How much closer can you get to pop culture of the 60's than a can of soup? Well, perhaps the answer is Marilyn Monroe. Warhol is noted for creating artistic portraits of Marilyn Monroe. Warhol is noted to have mingled with many different subculture circles and must have had some influence on how and why he created the art that was famous for. I bet you didn't know his birth name was Andrew Warhola. Or perhaps you did?
Another notable pop artist was Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997). Lichtenstein loved doing abstract expressionism but later was drawn to pop art in the 60's. He created art using comic strips as the subject. He also was known for creating pop art style reproductions of master painters like Monet. Personally, I always like to see someone play with a master's artwork. What better exercise could an artist receive?
This is my second forgery i have worked on one of Roy Lichtenstein work i have struggle painting this forgery it wasn't easy at all getting the dot's perfect.
