That’s bc he was a hack piece of shit. Like I can see the argument for when people talk about Warhol and his “recontextualizing” of existing things, like soup cans or Elvis, but Lichtenstein was a thief. He wasn’t “recontextualizing” shit. He took an existing drawing and made it big. Hack. Shit.

Warhol, at least, changed the media of the items he presented. He drew, then screenprinted his soup cans, for instance. Lichtenstein took a drawing and just made a bigger (& worse executed) version. He’s a hack and his “work” should be considered a cautionary tale, but the world of “fine art” is

Full of people high on their own flatulence & they’ll never admit that they’ve been bamboozled so this shit gets to make millions while the guys he stole from died in poverty. In case you didn’t know, I have *feelings* about Lichtenstein…
