Nude with Red Shirt 1995

Roy Lichtenstein made this "Nude with Red Shirt," and it's all about dots, lines, and blocks of color. It's like he's saying, "Hey, art can be made from anything, even comic books!" What strikes me is how flat everything is. The dots, those glorious Ben-Day dots, they’re so evenly spaced, it’s almost mechanical. But then you look at the red shirt, and there’s this energy, a sense of movement as she pulls it off. It's a simple gesture, but Lichtenstein captures it with such graphic punch. The way he uses color, too—primary and bold—it’s so decisive. There's a dialogue with artists like Warhol, who also embraced pop culture. But Lichtenstein's all about the process, the simplification, and the impact of those dots. It reminds us that art isn’t just about representation, it's about how we see and interpret the world around us, one dot at a time.
