Crying Girl is the name of two separate works by Lichtenstein, each in completely different mediums. This particular 1963 version is an offset lithograph printed on off-white woven paper, while the 1964 version is porcelain enamel on steel. He created this unique style by adapting the imagery and motifs of comic strips- creating his own comic characters and elevating them through his choice of medium. Unaware of his Pop Art counterpart, Warhol, he produced several of his most famous images in this illustrative style during the 1960s. He called these cartoon-like depictions of attractive women “fantasy drama” paintings in which these heroins were in dramatic love affairs with powerful men, resulting in utter misery. Both paintings showcase these delicate women, their lively illustrative style contrasting such piercing, distressed features.
