In the foreground, there is a blond woman lying on the bed and hopelessly crying. Her eyes are looking nowhere sorrowful. The title of the artwork corresponds to the text in the cloud of what she is thinking. Every shape in the picture presents thick black contour lines and is filled with colored dots. This work of art is important for the concepts of appropriation and replication. The artist appropriated himself of this already-existing comic panel, deleting the brand name, and replicated it in his artwork.
Nevertheless, he did not merely copy an image automatically. His process of replication was much more complex than that. After choosing a comic panel, he would sketch it and project the sketch not the comic on the canvas with an opaque projector.
Then he would trace the image, which he would firstly fill with stenciled dots and secondly contour with thick black lines, using oil paint. Therefore, mechanical image reproduction was not his intention. He rather precisely recomposed and repositioned the appropriated image. The result of the replicating process is flat and unemotional. The image is taken out of its original context, and any interpretation or understanding is impossible.
This coldness of expression also aims at contrasting the deep emotionality and spirituality of Abstract Expressionism. The dynamic colors Delacroix used made the painting more realistics. The repetition of the light colors among…. He absorbed all the feelings and the things around him and intended to express all of them on the canvas.
Therefore, his careful observation of himself and his distinctive painting techniques contribute to constructing the emotional-expressive painting.
Certainly, his intense temperament and winding life which lead his painting into the light are the main point of Van Gogh criticism usually. Nevertheless, the fine colour combinations, strong colour contrasts, and the thick brushstrokes that he uses are the best way to express Van Gogh's long-lasting anxiety and depression gained from the hardship in the asylum.
Consequently, Self-Portrait let a viewer experience and sympathise the personal feeling of Van Gogh beyond the impression from the….
Every single line is at a diagonal, which creates a sense of movement and direction. Even the letters in the text bubble are made up of diagonal lines which give more emotion to them, as if they are leaning on her lips in hesitation.
In order to change the painting from the source image, Lichtenstein cropped and zoomed in on the image. Both painters used color to enhance the authenticity of the the people in the images. As well as color, the painters used shadowing and it enhanced the mystery and seriousness of the paintings. Emotion is also evident in both of their paintings.
Perhaps it was because of this, he was able to be resourceful in his artwork and recognized his capabilities. For example, in The Old Guitarist, if you look closely there is almost a ghostly figure of a woman in the background. This is thought to be the original, planned painting for the panel, a woman sitting.
Be that as it may, when Picasso realized he had limited materials, he went with what became the guitarist and one of his most successful paintings. It is the little bits of history like this and the intensity of emotion and color in the paintings that has made Picasso such a phenomenal artist.
It used atmospheric perspective to create different color of red. This painting is asymmetrical balance because the background used dark red and the clothe she wore is lighter red creates balance in this painting.
The woman depicted in the painting looks young and beautiful but with teary eyes. Lichtenstein used bright color on the hair to depict her beauty to the viewer and also small note on what is going on her mind. The use of strong and bright colors gives the viewer an opportunity to take a closer look at the painting and wonder what would be bothering such a beautiful woman whom seems to be in her mid-twenties.
The main theme in the Hopeless painting is romance and the issues that women go through in their daily life and in the society in general. Lichtenstein was able to use his painting technique and talent to communicate important messages to the society through his works such as the Hopeless painting. In the Hopeless painting, Roy derived an enduring art from other forms of fleeting entertainment while at the same time remaining relatively true to the main source.
The particular source during this era was considered to be typical melodramatic romantic comical scene.
