Liberty Leading The People

Liberty leading the people is a romanticized image following The French Revolution. The womens breast is exposed to show, fertility and the beauty of life after so much fighting. I like this painting a lot because it portrays war, in a erringly beautiful way. This picture was the cover art of Coldplay's album "Viva La Vida and or the death of all his friends".

Roy Lichtenstein



Lichtenstein was a pop artist in the 60's. He was inspired by old comic book art. He believed that something as simple as comic books can be portrayed as high art.
