Roy Lichtenstein - Diagram of an Artist | Tate 

yes

Nope, he didn't even credit them.

@THE NEW HOUSE That is an ignorant and uneducated opinion. Not worth my time bruh. good luck peddling scribbles to snobs.

Claude Monet Gustav Klimt, James Audubon , mc Escher , jw Turner, da Vinci are obviously very different

Did anyone else think they were listening to the great Carl Sagan for a second, and even upon further inspection seeing the man think they were also looking at Carl Sagan?

Yup! He loved stealing real artists work!

I'm pretty sure he made those

The ultimate art thief

the "all american men of war" comic you mean. Its frame from a comic book by another artist.

vybeschoo What’s your point? It sounds like you don’t understand what Lichtenstein was doing.

@@adamcochran7950 What's your point? It sounds like you have chosen to believe the bullshit Lichtenstein used to justify plagiarism.

@@adamcochran7950 And my point is that the guy i'm replying to doesn't have a Lichtenstein piece tattooed on him, it is someone elses.

vybeschoo My point is that you have no understanding of art or art history. You probably don’t even know how much Lichtenstein altered the images he used. I wonder if you go up to every tattoo artist and tell them they are mostly just plagiarizers? Or if you would tell the inkers at a comic book they are just tracers? Why am I even wasting my time talking to a dunce like you?

do you still love it??

Should look into Jack Kirby and Russ Heath, and then think about how original this 'artist' actually is, the fucking thief

Steal from more talented but lesser known pianists but perform for snobby-ier audiences

Totally agree!

it's called art appropriation not plagiarism.

Philip Lindsay Art is 90% stealing. I once heard

@@czbaterka some call it remix culture.. take someone else's work and remixing it to your own style..

Philip Lindsay It sounds like you don’t understand what he was doing.

He used a projector to project people’s comic art on to a canvas and traced around the lines, notice how when he paints the pencil lines are already there? Even the words are traced, anyone can trace and fill in the spaces with flat colour paint, did you see his freehand work before he did pop art it was awful, fair enough I will give him credit for a unique technique but if you can’t trace around your own creative work and have to do it to other people’s works then you are an amateur at best, he didn’t even credit the people who’s art he traced around.

Very few artists have not done so.

@@artteachernc9119 He was from the Neo-Dada movement. The Dada movement was known for their "ready-made" sculptures like Duchamp's Fountain. They were all a bunch of hacks who enjoyed plagiarism. There is nothing transforming about their art. While the actual artists earned peanuts because comic books weren't considered art, he earned millions by very much copying - WITH A PROJECTOR - their work and pulling them out of context, not giving credit to anything. You can be inspired by other art. You can even use it as a base reference. But transform it. Make it something different. Roy would be one of those photomanipulators that just throws a few filters on photoshop atop of something and calls it art.

He copied comic art made by actual talented fellas
