Girl by Roy Lichetenstein

Girl By Roy Lichetenstein

Roy Lichetenstein is my favorite artist from the 1960's era.  His art work tells a story from just one singular clip.  This piece is one of my favorites, from the her expression to the position of her body really sets the scene.  It looks like she is staying up late, watching the clock and waiting for her husband or boyfriend to return home.  She appears to be worried or annoyed, or perhaps both.  Its a very relatable piece since almost all woman have been in this postion before.  The use of colors and the style looks like a comic book.  His art is the kind of pieces I want in my own home.
