movies about Roy Lichtenstein (and Art in general)

I just wanted to point out that there are many, many movies about artists and art – documentaries and fictional ones. And many of these movies can be found at your local library or through Netflix (if you are a Netflix subscriber, see www.netflix.com if you want to know more about it).

 

 

You can find a very thorough Roy Lichtenstein filmography on the Lichtenstein Foundation website:

http://www.lichtensteinfoundation.org/frames.htm

(see the items at the top of the page)

 

This is the movie that was being shown at The Henry Art Gallery:

“Roy Lichtenstein: The Art of the Graphic Image”, by Frank Cantor

 

And this is the video that we watched in training:

“Roy Lichtenstein: Reflections”

 

And these are some other movies:

 

Roy Lichtenstein (1991)

Legendary pop-art pioneer Roy Lichtenstein offers rare insight into his life and work in this highly candid and informative interview, which chronicles the artist's long and incredible career. Lichtenstein describes his process of searching for a new subject and demystifies his one-of-a-kind painting technique. He also weighs in on the topic of "What is art?" and discusses the harsh criticisms his work has invoked.

 

Drawings of Roy Lichtenstein 1961-1986 (1987)

This video features an overview of the work of important Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein on the occasion of an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. Curator Bernice Rose takes us through this documentary and shows the influence of other art movements, from Cubism to Art Deco, which provide Lichtenstein with his inspiration. This video offers a privileged look into an artist and his technique.

 

Who Gets to Call It Art? (2006)

In the 1960s, as the Metropolitan Museum of Art's first curator of contemporary art, Henry Geldzahler bore witness to an exciting era in history that saw the rise of Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns and the iconic Andy Warhol. This vibrant documentary combines Geldzahler's recollections of his experiences with rare footage and interviews with working artists of the period, including David Hockney, James Rosenquist and Frank Stella.

 

Inspirations (1997)

Where do the world's greatest artists get their creative spark? In this fascinating documentary, award-winning director Michael Apted (Coal Miner's Daughter, Gorillas in the Mist) presents an in-depth exploration of the creative process, as acclaimed geniuses such as rock musician David Bowie, pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, clay artist Naranjo-Morse and glass artist Dale Chihuly discuss how and why they work the way they do.

URGENT: Chihuly Docent Needed: Friday, June 16 at 2 pm

I am urgently looking for a docent to do a Chihuly Walking Tour on Friday, June 16 at 2 pm for 2 people.

Even if you do not usually do Chihuly Walking Tours, but think you can manage one, please consider doing this tour. There is no regular docent on this day either, so please consider doing a shift too since you will already be here!

 

Please reply only if you are available, and I will confirm whether or not you are needed.

 

Thanks for your time!

All those interested in participating....the location of the free
informational meeting and the two day paid workshop is the United Methodist
church on the corner of 7th and Anderson in the basement.
The deadline to sign up and reserve your place is June 24---pay about half
to reserve your place which is about $20, a very good deal.The class size
limit is 12. Why the workshop can be so cheap is because we will be using
recycled materials that you will bring although I will bring some tools and
materials too. If you have questions or want to sign up please email me at
lia_craven@hotmail.com

The garden is alive and creeping down 6th ave.......

A floricultural parade puppet workshop

All skill levels are invited--I will show you how to make three types
of parade puppets: the large back pack puppet, a cardboard face mask
and an all cardboard body puppet. These puppets can all be made with
ordinary and recycled goods which you will collect and bring with you
to create your puppet. There will be one free informational
demonstration meeting June 14 where I'll explain what supplies you
will need depending on the puppet you want to make and examples of all
three types of puppet. If you are interested in the project, you can
come back for the paid two day workshop, $40 per person June 29th and
30th from 12- 3pm each day. This will be enough time for students to
finish a couple of simple masks or start one large puppet. The goal is
to finish these garden-themed puppets by July 9 in time for Art on the
Ave (12 to 6pm) and walk around with them at the festival---by
participating in the workshop you are committed to bringing your
creation to the festival in all its glory! June 14- free lecture,
