Floor 5, Terrace
Open to all ages
Artists of all ages are invited to celebrate the opening day of Roy Lichtenstein: Like New! Join Whitney Educators on the Floor 5 terrace to create your own windowscape drawing. Consider the many windows visible from the Whitney’s terrace. Imagine the people, places, and stories that might be unfolding behind each one, and the entirely different view someone looking out from that window might see. Create your own work of art looking into, or looking out of, a window.
Roy Lichtenstein changed the way we see images. One of the defining artists of the Pop art movement, he turned the visual language of mass culture, comics, advertising, consumer goods, and commercial printing into some of the most recognizable images of the twentieth century. His work looked cool, crisp, and machine-made, but was meticulously handmade, revealing an artist fascinated by how images are built, copied, enlarged, circulated, and made new.
In New York World's Fair Mural (Girl in Window), 1964, Lichtenstein depicts a woman framed by a window. What might be happening in the space around her, and what might she see when she looks beyond the frame?
