Lichtenstein at Tate Liverpool

Tate Liverpool Presents Roy Lichtenstein in Focus

Explore more than 20 works charting Roy Lichtenstein’s (1923–1997) early interest in landscape to his iconic pop paintings influenced by comic strips and advertising imagery. The free display also presents Lichtenstein’s three-screen installation, his only work with film, which was made after spending two weeks at Universal Studios in 1969.

A conversation between Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) and Melinda Camber Porter (1953- 2008) took place on December 18, 1983, when Roy Lichtenstein’s Greene Street Mural drew crowds to Leo Castelli’s landmark SoHo Greene Street Gallery in downtown New York. Roy Lichtenstein describes to Melinda Camber Porter the many influences on his art from the Renaissance painters to Japanese art in terms of his brush strokes, perspective, and styles. 

The conversation, published as Melinda Camber Porter in Conversation with Roy Lichtenstein, is now available on Amazon in both hardcover and ebook.
