A comic artist on Lichtenstein

[Bronty]

well, with warhol the first thing that comes to mind is Marilyn. That's an original image as far as I know (although probably based on a photo) as are the similar colored silkscreens of other celebrities.

 

So I would guess that people acknowledge a larger element of originality with some of Warhol's best known works than with Lichty. (I'm not going to get into whether Lichty was original or not; just saying I think Warhol is acknowledged as being 'more' original).

Plagiarism: It's the new Creativity!

Listen to this 'artist' spew his pseudo-philosophical BS.

Hey kids! Here's fun: How many ways can YOU find to undermine his argument?

And he's essentially sanctioned by MoMA!

Not original at all. Mechanically reproduced (photo-silkscreen) from a magazine photo. Less changed (by scale & color) than the completely redrawn comic panels of Lichtenstein.

"...the image can be put on the screen photographically, which is what Warhol did, thus mechanically reproducing his source. In 'Marilyn Diptych' this was a still photograph of Monroe in the 1953 film Niagara. "

 

from the Tate Britain website description of Marilyn Diptych 1962.

It begins with this comment:

 

"More than any other Pop artist Andy Warhol presented his subject matter so as to appear so close to the original, in paintings so remote from existing ideas of composition and execution, that the work seemed to many people to be disqualified as art."

Similar to how a comic is "SOTI" is there a list of comics that would be considered copied by Lichtenstein?
