Imagine you are at a visualize art museum, and you look at every art piece in their both nothing comes to significance. All of a sudden you walk past this one bright 4 colored, cartoon looking painting and you are now thinking, sensation. That moment will happen to you if you come to the Milwaukee Art Museum and see “Cry” by Roy Lichtensein. If you take time to oversee this artwork you can feel the emotions Roy Lichtensein brought to it.
First, Roy Lichtenstein was a great artist. He was born in 1923 and study art all through his life. Roy Lichtenstein started to make most of his famous art work through his 40’s/ the 1960’s. During that time period many immense occasions occored; such as, Vietnam War, the Civil act Right. All of these events could have relate to his paintings. Seams Every painting he created could have interconnected to these happenings.
Though Roy Lichtensein work was related to giant actions in America, the crying girl was one of his most famed piece of art work he created. In the painting they’re four basic colors in it; red, yellow, and blue. I believe the girl has a basic customary life that she is living. Though the girl has a basic life she is crying; not a cheerful cry but a said depressed weep. Roy Lichtensein piece was created in 1964 and many actions occurred during that year. But since the girl seems like she is living a basic life, I feel like her husband/boyfriend/ or even fiancĂ© is leaving for the Vietnam war. Of course you and I can feel her sorrow and she is dreadfully gloomy. Though the art work “Crying Girl” is remarkable, it’s hard not to feel the heartrending feeling when looking at it.
Looking at an art work piece by Roy Lichtensein is a heartwarming feeling. The art work of “Crying Girl” gives me the chills looking at it. Over seeing this piece I look for what the artist was trying to say; I believe I found that. Taking my time to look at this piece and looking for the deep feeling was somewhat blissful.
