I. Frost's Selected Quotations
Everything at Amazon by and about: Roy LichtensteinArt doesn't transform. It just plain forms I don't have big anxieties. I wish I did. I'd be much more interesting Personally, I feel that in my own work I wanted to look programmed or impersonal but I don't really believe I am being impersonal when I do it. And I don't think you could do this. My work isn't about form. It's about seeing. I'm excited about seeing things, and I'm interested in the way I think other people see things. There must be something about art... almost all cultures have done art. Its a refining of the senses, which are there to keep us alive. As far as we know, no other animals do that. I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me I'm not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I don't really want it to carry one. I'm not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way 'In these objects', the golf ball, the frankfurter, and so on, there is an anti-Cubist composition. You pick an object and put it on a blank ground. I was interested in non-Cubist composition. The idea is contrary to the major direction of art since the early Renaissance which has more and more symbolised the integration of "figure" and "ground I don't think of form as a kind of architecture. The architecture is the result of the forming. It is the kinesthetic and visual sense of position and wholeness that puts the thing into the realm of art People think one-point and two-point perspective is how the world actually looks, but of course, it isn't. It's a convention All my art is in some way about other art, even if the other art is cartoons What characterises Pop is the use of what is despised We wanted to paint pictures so outrageous and ugly that no one would want to buy them 2
