But seek the gold nugget in the harsh initiation nevertheless. So be kind to yourself as you learn your leadership lessons. It’s more pain, tears and bruised knees than rainbows. More often than not, they are messy and difficult. Insight and epiphanies are not always love and lightness. Occasionally I’m finding, there just ain’t no lesson. Sometimes the real lesson doesn’t show itself for a long time – in some cases, many years later. That uncomfortable ‘in between’ state – that murky, foggy, difficult stage of downright unknowing is a necessary growth process in leadership. It is not something to be quickly pushed past. Sometimes you just gotta swallow the bitter pill, no matter how unpleasant the taste.Īt the same time, I don’t think we can rush learning. You have a choice when lessons come knocking on your door – to reject, attack, defend or deflect – or you can choose to take on the lesson, regardless of how difficult it is to experience. Sometimes teachers come in the strangest guises: a person we despise, a political election, a random conversation, an uncomfortable, difficult or even painful experience – or in my case – a Facebook response to a blog post I published. It has prompted me to think deeply and broadly about the way in which leadership lessons can be conveyed. Information subject to change upon further research.This week, I was delivered a powerful lesson which I am still trying to make sense of. To schedule a tour with the Art Collections, please contact. Stop by Beckman Hall to see Mirror #5 and the works of other Pop Art artists in the Escalette Collection! Lichtenstein’s works can be seen in museums around the world, from LACMA to the National Portrait Gallery in London. His work has been featured in films, including Night at the Museum, as well as music, such as U2’s PopMart Tour. Lichtenstein continued his art career until his death in 1997, and his influence has continued into the 21 st century. Mirror #5 exemplifies this mixing of abstraction and pop art style. He also expanded his art practice by producing sculptures and films, as well as mixing Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism with his iconic comic-like drawing style. In his later career, Lichtenstein began experimenting with new types of media, including mirrors, and bronze. This movement challenged the traditions of typical fine art by featuring images from popular culture like advertising, comic books, and every-day products, often ironically. Alongside artists like Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg, Lichtenstein quickly became known as a leader in the Pop Art movement by the mid-1960s. One of Lichtenstein’s most famous work from this period, Whaam! , drew inspiration from a comic book panel in DC Comic’s All-American Men of War. This new Pop Art style placed mass media on the same level as fine art, blurring the previously defined line between the two. In reaction against Abstract Expressionism, his art began to focus on American popular culture and mimic comic book art. His early work contained elements from a variety of 19 th century modernist art movements including Cubism and Expressionism however, towards the late 1960s Lichtenstein began experimenting with different methods and subjects in the Pop art style. When he finished his studies, Lichtenstein taught for a brief time at Ohio State before moving to Cleveland to work as a window-display designer, and commercial-art instructor.Īt the start of Lichtenstein’s career in the late 1940s, he exhibited his art in galleries from Cleveland to New York City. After graduation, Lichtenstein studied at Ohio State University where he started to pursue a degree in fine arts before being drafted to serve in World War II for three years.Īfter his service, Lichtenstein returned to Ohio to complete his undergraduate and master’s degree in fine arts. Born in New York City on October 27, 1923, he became interested in art during high school, when he began taking watercolor classes at Parsons School of Design in addition to other art classes at the New York Art Students League. Roy Lichtenstein is an American artist most well-known for his pop art. Roy Lichtenstein, Mirror #5, Lithograph, 1972
