Lichtenstein was an American pop artist who was born in 1929 in Manhattan. He worked with oil and Magna paint. His works where comentaries on the way mass media portrys his theme, he used comic strips created by others as the basis for much of his work. They rarely recive any credit. I like Lichtenstein because of the strong influence of colour in his work, without it the paintings lose there emotion. Mouse over right to see black and white.
You could say that Lichtenstein was stealing the emotion from the comic book artists, and crafting it into his own...

A Portrait of Samuel Beckett by Jane Brown
This Photograph of Samuel Beckett was taken by Jane Brown. Beckett was a writer born in Ireland in 1906.
When we first look at the photograph our eyes a pulled strait to Samuel Beckett, the subject. The wooden planks on the right point towards his face, and the absolute black the surrounds him focuses the audience on his face. Becketts deep wrinkles guide our eyes. The furrows on his brow channel our eyes toward his, as do the lines around his eyes and mouth.
