Justine Price, PhD, assistant professor of art history, will present an ArtsCanisius Meet-the-Faculty lecture titled “Roy Lichtenstein: Post-Pop Painterly” on Thursday, April 15 at 2:30 p.m. in Regis South. The event is free and open to the public.
American artist Roy Lichtenstein created many of the iconic works of pop art of the post-War era. The artist’s first ambition, however, was to have been a painter in the tradition of the Abstract Expressionists. A prolonged encounter with his pop work reveals his abstract desires to be hiding in plain sight.
