    "All my art is in some way about other art. Even if that other art is cartoons."

     

     

    Roy Lichtenstein’s Two Paintings: Dagwood, 1984 is arguably the most figurative print of his eight part series, Paintings, which parodied the boundaries of high, low art culture and explored notions of originality in art. 
    Two Paintings: Dagwood features the central trope of the Paintings series; fictitious picture frames juxtaposed to distort the viewer’s image. This vivid print features the contrasts of abstract brushstrokes that hint at the ‘painterly’ gestures of traditional artworks with the cartoon image of a character called ‘Dagwood’ taken from a 1930’s cartoon of the same name. Lichtenstein’s recognisable pop art signatures: a distressed comic book character rendered in ben day dots, bright colours, delineated outlines starkly contrast with the fluid brushstrokes in pastel colours that could be from an Abstract Expressionist painter. 
    Lichtenstein’s intricate artwork shows his conceptual prowess as an artist and true to his satirical form, in Two Paintings: Dagwood, he parodies both fine and commercial modes of expression.
