Roy Lichtenstein

The Museum of Contemporary Art MoCA, Miami

Inside/Outside

Organized by MoCA and curated by MoCA Director Bonnie Clearwater, Roy Lichtenstein: Inside/Outside is Miami’s first major exhibition of the late Pop master.

The exhibition features more than 120 paintings, drawings, and sculptures dating from the early 1960s to Lichtenstein’s death in 1997.

How Lichtenstein conceived and perceived space is a central theme of the exhibition.

Like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein based his imagery on cartoons, and he developed his personal style by making boldly colored paintings modulated with Benday dots, a technique used by cartoonists for shading.
Although the Benday dots are a reference to mass media production in popular culture, Lichtenstein also used these dots as a means to represent three-dimensioniality on a flat surface.
He similarly painted on perforated steel plates.
In these works the perforations gave literal depth to the Benday dots of his paintings.

Lichtenstein’s exploration of illusionistic and literal space is one of the consistent components to his work throughout his career, and the spatial effects of his three-dimensional work is especially complex
In these 3-D works he applied the rules of perspective and foreshortening that he used to create illusionistic space in his 2-D paintings.
The result is that even when the surface of his three-dimensional works are flat, they appear fully volumetric to the viewer’s eye.

This exhibition will be accompanied by a catalog featuring essays by authors including Bonnie Clearwater.
