Comparison Of FBC Cadell And Roy Lichtenstein
The two artist I have chosen to study a FBC Cadell and Roy Lichtenstein. Both artist are from different movements and styles. Cadell painted in the the impressionist style in the early 20th century whereas Lichtenstein painted in the Pop-art style during the 1960s and 70s. Impressionists were obsessed with light and the way it affected surfaces. They were also interested in the way light creates colours and shadows on objects. Cadell lived a worked in Edinburgh and was part of an art movement called the Scottish colourists. The four Scottish colourists were known for there use of bright colours and their pronounced brush strokes.
Pop-artists were rather different, as they focused on comic-book style art and used printing method rather than paint. Roy Lichtenstein was one of the leading pop artists of the ear. Lichtenstein developed a style of bold colours, black outlines and sharp tones. He used a method of printing called the “Benday Dot” system which overlapped dots to create block colours. In contrast to the colourist the Pop-artists experimented with a variety of medium such as printing techniques.

He uses traditional still life objects. At the centre of the painting in a plate with lemons and an orange placed on it. At first glance these objects look relaistice but the thick brush strokes used makes them seem distorted. Using a mixture of light a dark tones in the background of the painting cadell draws the eye to a dark framed photo on the back wall. To me this is the focal point. Warmer colours in the painting appear to come forward while cooler colours recede. This is how Cadell has created a sense of perspective. The composition is quite simple but well balanced and looks good in my opinion. In my opinion Cadell had used large quickly placed brush strokes to blend the colours in well, which shows clearly how the light is
