“If an artist can't do anymore, then he should just quit; and an artist ought to be able to change his style without feeling bad. I heard that [John] Lichtenstein said he might not be painting comic strips a year of two from now [1963]. I think that would be so great, to be able to change styles. And I think that's what's going to happen; that’s going to be the whole new scene.”
“Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.”
Roy Lichtenstein
“I'm not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I don't really want it to carry one. I'm not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better ...”
Roy Lichtenstein
“I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.”
Roy Lichtenstein
“I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.”
Roy Lichtenstein
“Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms.”
Roy Lichtenstein
