Roy Lichtenstein: Re-Figure
Castelli Gallery is pleased to present Roy Lichtenstein: Re-Figure. This exhibition focuses on Lichtenstein's diverse treatment of the human figure in works that proceed from his iconic cartoon paintings from the '60s. Featuring some of the artist's most innovative works, Lichtenstein: Re-Figure aims not only to highlight the artist's engagement with the human figure - a central theme throughout his career - but also to "re-figure", in the sense of reassessing, the common yet reductive view of Lichtenstein as the painter of pop culture images.
Just as artists from antiquity through modernism studied the human form, Lichtenstein too engaged in a sustained investigation of this subject. Despite the ubiquity of this theme, Lichtenstein created his highly original works using a diverse spectrum of imagery drawn from art history and popular culture.
