To celebrate the exhibition ROY LICHTENSTEIN at the Hayward Gallery

fiction and Hollywood.

BRUCE CONNER: A MASTER OF FOUND FOOTAGE
Roy Lichtenstein is well known for his imagery drawn from comic strips
Disney characters, romantic melodramas, wartime action to which he makes
relatively minimal adjustments. This is a principle whose cinematic
equivalent could be the OEfound footage¹ editing. By using OEready made¹
moving images, Bruce Conner also covers the political and social aspects of
the contemporary world.

HOLLYWOOD: STARS AND DECADENCE
Pop art paintings overflow with references to cinema. The Hollywood star is
shown as an object of desire, but also as an icon of death and destruction.

CONSUMERIST IMAGERY
Pop artists break with the 50s main art scene by using techniques and
imagery of the advertising world. Filmmakers also play with comics,
magazines, posters, etc. in order to create new aesthetics as well as to
undermine clichés in mass media.

Roy Lichtenstein at the Hayward Gallery
26 February - 16 May 2004
A major retrospective of paintings and drawings by the master of American
Pop Art. This is the first in-depth exhibition of work by the master of Pop
Art to be seen in the UK for over 30 years.
Lichtenstein 's style and his subjects are instantly recognisable, and
immediate in their impact. From the 60s on he extended the range of his
imagery to include still lifes, figure studies, landscapes and interiors ,
examining colour, pattern and form, spatial illusions and borders of
abstraction, the styles and iconic images of modern art (including his own)
with increasing complexity and an ever-present ironic humour.
