Roy Lichtenstein Books

Guilt mingles with relief, leaving Drizzt uniquely vulnerable to the persuasions of his newest companion--Dahlia, a darkly alluring elf and the only other member of their party to survive the cataclysm at Mount Hotenow. But traveling with Dahlia is challenging in more ways than one. As the two companions seek revenge on the one responsible for leveling Neverwinter--and nearly Luskan as well--Drizzt finds his usual moral certainty swept away by her unconventional views. Forced to see the dark deeds that the common man may be driven to by circumstance, Drizzt begins to find himself on the wrong side of the law in an effort to protect those the law has failed. Making new enemies, as his old enemies acquire deadly allies, Drizzt and Dahlia quickly find themselves embroiled in battle--a state he's coming to enjoy a little too much.

This English catalog features a selection of 97 works by Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) created between 1966 and 1997. Alongside Andy Warhol, he was a significant US Pop Art artist. Organized with the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation and curated by Jack Cowart, it provides a comprehensive overview of the artist's various stages of work.

Walker Evans' radical photography of the 1930s demonstrated that unembellished photographic fact could serve as a highly poetic language. These works expanded the potential of the art of photography and at the same time defined a lasting iconography that recognized advertising, movies and car culture as central images of modern American identity. Walker Evans & Company focuses on Evans as a central figure in the arts of the 1920s and 30s, and includes works in photography and other mediums that influenced Evans or were influenced by him, or which resonate in a significant way with aspects of his imagery, sensibility and style. Among the other artists whose work is featured Eugene Atget, Mathew Brady, Stuart Davis, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Edward Hopper, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, August Sander, Andy Warhol and Edward Weston. Published in conjunction with the second of three cycles of millennial exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Encompasses all the artist's early works, including authoritative notes and commentary

L'art a quelque chose d'artificieux par essence et il est en réalité impossible de dire où il y a de l'art dans ses propres oeuvres, ni ce qu'il est ... Nous avons tous appris que ce n'est pas bien de copier les oeuvres des autres, or il semble que c'est exactement ce que je fais - et il en est réellement bien souvent ainsi. Il s'agit là d'un de ces tabous que les artistes méprisent continuellement. Les bandes dessinées par exemple n'ont pas été prises pour de l'art, et ce tabou s'est tout de même effondré. Selon moi, l'art commercial a généralement été jugé inférieur. Nous l'avons appris à l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts: tout ce qui ressemble un tant soit peu au design publicitaire est inférieur par nature. Mais Je crois que ce point de vue est faux et que moi, justement, je transforme ce qui est apparemment "commercial" en quelque chose d'autre, que je crée de l'art. Naturellement je ne peux pas le prouver. Tout ce que je peux dire c'est que je crois qu'avec mon "matériau" je crée quelque chose de tout à fait nouveau.
