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.

More quotes by Roy Lichtenstein
Yeah, you know, you like it to come on like gangbusters, but you get into passages that are very interesting and subtle, and sometimes your original intent changes quite a bit.
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
My work isn't about form. It's about seeing. I'm excited about seeing things, and I'm interested in the way I think other people see things.
Roy Lichtenstein
You know, as you compose music, you're just off in your own world. You have no idea where reality is, so to have an idea of what people think is pretty hard.
Roy Lichtenstein
There must be something about art... almost all cultures have done art. It's a refining of the senses, which are there to keep us alive. As far as we know, no other animals do that.
Roy Lichtenstein
A number of artists have done things with Mickey Mouse - including Claes Oldenburg and Andy Warhol. He's such an American symbol, and such an anti-art symbol.
Roy Lichtenstein
Painting stems from a sense of organisation, the sensed positions of contrasts. Not that it is about this.
Roy Lichtenstein
Picasso's always been such a huge influence that I thought when I started the cartoon paintings that I was getting away from Picasso, and even my cartoons of Picasso were done almost to rid myself of his influence.
Roy Lichtenstein
Use the worst colour you can find in each place - it usually is the best.
Roy Lichtenstein
In America the biggest is the best.
Roy Lichtenstein
Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesnt look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.
Roy Lichtenstein
Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms.
Roy Lichtenstein
People think one-point and two-point perspective is how the world actually looks, but of course, it isn't. It's a convention.
Roy Lichtenstein
I take a cliche and try to organize its forms to make it monumental. The difference is often not great, but it is crucial.
Roy Lichtenstein
There is a relationship between cartooning and people like Mir? and Picasso which may not be understood by the cartoonist, but it definitely is related even in the early Disney.
Roy Lichtenstein
Yes, you know sometimes, we started out thinking out how strange our painting was next to normal painting, which was anything expressionist. You forget that this has been thirty five years now and people don't look at it as if it were some kind of oddity.
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
Pop Art is industrial painting. I think the meaning of my work is that it is industrial, it's what all the world will soon become. Europe will be the same way, soon, it won't be American it will be universal.
Roy Lichtenstein
Outside is the world it's there. Pop Art looks out into the world.
Roy Lichtenstein
