Drowning Girl
"Drowning Girl" is a famous painting created by artist Roy Lichtenstein in 1963. The artwork features a woman in distress, submerged in water, with a speech bubble that reads, "I don't care! I'd rather sink than call Brad!" This piece is a prime example of the Pop Art movement, which often incorporates comic book styles and commercial imagery.
The painting is characterized by its bold colors, thick outlines, and Ben-Day dots, a technique used to create shading and texture. "Drowning Girl" reflects themes of emotional turmoil and the complexities of love, making it a significant work in Lichtenstein's portfolio and in modern art history.
