More quotes by 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
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
Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesnt look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.
Roy Lichtenstein
I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.
Roy Lichtenstein
Painting stems from a sense of organisation, the sensed positions of contrasts. Not that it is about this.
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
Outside is the world it's there. Pop Art looks out into the world.
Roy Lichtenstein
Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms.
Roy Lichtenstein
All my art is in some way about other art, even if the other art is cartoons.
Roy Lichtenstein

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
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.
Roy Lichtenstein
Im not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I dont really want it to carry one. Im not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way.
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
Im interested in what would normally be considered the worst aspects of commercial art. I think its the tension between what seems to be so rigid and cliched and the fact that art really cant be this way.
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
I dont have big anxieties. I wish I did. Id be much more interesting.
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.
