Iconic Pop Art

In the 1960s, artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein created simple, iconic art that through parody and light-heartedness poked fun at and reinvented what art was at the time.  They were pioneers, just like Chuck Berry and Elvis were pioneers in music in the 1950s. 

Today, I did a replica of a Lichtenstein work, Red Barn II which was done in color in 1969.  I found the image in the Roy Lichtenstein basic art book I bought at Barnes and Noble a couple of years back. I think my image is simple and more like manga since it is in grayscale and lacks much detail.  My version is good too, and has a minimalistic style with wobbly lines and efficiency of line and effort.

Hope you like it.
