Roy Lichtenstein quotes
" A number of artists have done things with Mickey Mouse - including Oldenburg and Warhol. He's such an American symbol, and such an anti-art symbol. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" But certainly the Abstract Expressionists were in a more romantic mode of painting, or give and take, than my paintings are seen to be anyway. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" But usually I begin things through a drawing, so a lot of things are worked out in the drawing. But even then, I still allow for and want to make changes. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" For instance the color is different, you know, from just colored pencil to colored paint - it's two different things. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" I don't have big anxieties. I wish I did. I'd be much more interesting. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" I don't think that I'm over his influence but they probably don't look like Picassos; Picasso himself would probably have thrown up looking at my pictures. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" I kind of do the drawing with the painting in mind, but it's very hard to guess at a size or a color and all the colors around it and what it will really look like. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" I suppose I would still prefer to sit under a tree with a picnic basket rather than under a gas pump, but signs and comic strips are interesting as subject matter. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" I think art since Cezanne has become extremely romantic and unrealistic, feeding on art. It is Utopian. It has less and less to do with the world. It looks inward - neo-Zen and all that. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" I think that most people think painters are kind of ridiculous, you know? "

Roy Lichtenstein
" I think that, say, Picasso's rendering of Delacroix or Velazquez could probably look like a sort of trashy copy of a masterpiece. "

Roy Lichtenstein
" I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it. "
