    "Lichtenstein fearlessly utilises Expressionist techniques through the prism of his pop art lens: the jarred angles, sleek lines and exaggerated features, bright colours."

     

    Roy Lichtenstein’s artwork, The Student, 1980, in a similar vein to the German Expressionist movement it references, invokes the viewer into emotional response. Part of the artist’s seven print Expressionist Woodcut series, the image is characterised by its bold shading and distortion which simplifies the pictorial form. 
    Through the dramatically abstracted depiction, the viewer can garner very little understanding of this student’s circumstances. Instead we are encouraged to connect with his emotional interior: he seems lost in life, lacking direction, frustrated and even rebellious - he holds a book in his right hand. Lichtenstein fearlessly utilises Expressionist techniques through the prism of his pop art lens: the jarred angles, sleek lines, exaggerated features and rich colours. 
    Whilst this character exudes emotions and tropes typical of student living, we can identify and emphasise with his confused stage of life.
