Roy Lichtenstein<\/strong> est sans conteste l’un de mes artistes pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9s. J’aime ses toiles inspir\u00e9es des comics<\/strong>, d\u00e9couvertes pour la premi\u00e8re fois il y a… bien des ann\u00e9es alors que je faisais du baby-sitting chez des gens dont on ne peut plus douter du go\u00fbt. Appr\u00e9hender l’art d’une fa\u00e7on ludique et avec un r\u00e9f\u00e9rentiel \u00e0 la bande dessin\u00e9e est un luxe abordable et un privil\u00e8ge certain. Out le classicisme o\u00f9 la beaut\u00e9 s’impose comme m\u00e8tre-\u00e9talon. Pour moi, Lichtenstein, c’\u00e9tait Picasso, les gueules cass\u00e9es en moins<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

Inutile, donc, de pr\u00e9ciser \u00e0 quel point je suis \u00e0 l’aff\u00fbt de expositions consacr\u00e9es \u00e0 cet artiste dont je r\u00eave de m’offrir une toile ou une sculpture (un jour, quand je serai devenue millionnaire…). J’ai d’ailleurs pris un certain plaisir \u00e0 pouvoir fanfaronner en disant en mai dernier \u00ab\u00a0je suis all\u00e9e \u00e0 Londres pour voir les expos Bowie<\/strong> et Lichtenstein<\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0. \u00c7a change du \u00ab\u00a0je suis all\u00e9e \u00e0 Londres pour aller chez Topshop<\/strong> et Selfridges<\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0…<\/p>\n

Retour \u00e0 Paris, ici et maintenant. Beaubourg<\/strong> consacre une exposition \u00e0 Lichtenstein. La premi\u00e8re r\u00e9trospective de l’artiste en France. J’\u00e9mets une petite r\u00e9serve \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 que j’avais vu une exposition sur Lichtenstein \u00e0 la Pinacoth\u00e8que<\/strong> il y a quelques ann\u00e9es, mais passons… Comme d’habitude, la communication est \u00e0 la hauteur et tout le monde est au courant.<\/p>\n

Premi\u00e8re surprise : il n’y a pas de file d’attente. Un jeudi. A 18h. On est bien loin de l’expo Dali<\/strong><\/a>… C’est plut\u00f4t une bonne nouvelle : je n’aime pas partager les artistes avec le petit peuple… C’est mon exp\u00e9rience, et j’entends bien qu’elle soit \u00e0 moi (me, myself and I)… Seconde surprise : \u00e0 peine a-t-on franchi l’entr\u00e9e de la premi\u00e8re salle qu’on se retrouve d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e0 la sortie (non, je ne suis pas de Marseille). On traverse cette exposition en un clin d\u2019\u0153il, comme un r\u00eave habit\u00e9 de fant\u00f4mes aux courbes et mouvements fluides.<\/p>\n

L’univers de Lichtenstein a cela de particulier qu’il est ultra-graphique<\/strong>, que les mouvements et les couleurs se r\u00e9pondent d’une fa\u00e7on exceptionnelle, d\u00e9finissant une ambiance propre \u00e0 l’artiste. On reste sur sa faim, avec l’envie d’en avoir plus, se s’immerger dans ce monde pop aux allures de pays des merveilles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Oui, cette r\u00e9trospective d\u00e9\u00e7oit dans le sens o\u00f9 le rapport nombre d\u2019\u0153uvres \/ prix semble un brin d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibr\u00e9 (13 euros, tout de m\u00eame !). Mais on appr\u00e9cie de d\u00e9couvrir des \u0153uvres qu’on n’avait jusque-l\u00e0 jamais vues en vrai. Et on regrette que plus d’espaces n’ait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 laiss\u00e9 aux estampes japonaises…<\/p>\n

\/<\/p>\n

Undeniably, Roy Lichtenstein<\/strong> is one of my favorite artists. I love his paintings inspired by comics<\/strong> that I discovered… years ago, while doing baby-sitting for people whose taste you can’t have doubts about. Getting to art in a playful way, with references to comic books is a luxury one can have. Done with classicism where beauty is the standard. For me, Lichtenstein was Picasso without the smashed faces<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

Hence, it is unnecessary to say I keep alert on any exhibition of this artist, dying to buy a painting or sculpture by him (one day, when I’ll become a millionnaire…). I eventually had a certain pleasure last May saying \u00ab\u00a0I’m going to London for the Bowie<\/strong> and Lichtenstein<\/strong> exhibitions\u00a0\u00bb instead of \u00ab\u00a0I’m going to London to go to Topshop<\/strong> and Selfridges<\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0…<\/p>\n

Back to Paris, here and now. Beaubourg<\/strong> is presenting a retrospective dedicated to Roy Lichtenstein. The first in France, they say. Even though I remember going to an exhibition at the Pinacoth\u00e8que<\/strong> only a few years ago… As usual, the communication around the event was massive and everybody knows about it.<\/p>\n

Surprise number one: there is no line. A Thursday. At 6pm. Far from the Dali exhibition<\/a>… It’s good news: I don’t like to share artists with the people… It is my experience and I want it to remain unique to me (me, myslef and I)… Surprise number two: as soon as you get inside the first room, you’re already going out. You get through this exhibition as in a dream inhabited by ghosts with smooth movements and curved shapes.<\/p>\n

Lichtenstein’s universe has a particularity: being ultra-graphic<\/strong>, the movements and colors respond to each other in an amazing way, defining an atmosphere very special to the artist’s work. You hope for more, you want to dive into this pop world that is like a wonderland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So yes, this exhibition is disappointing in the sense that the ratio between the number of art pieces and the price seems a bit disproportional (13 euros..!). But we appreciate to discover pieces never seen before. And we regret the Japanese period hasn’t been given more space…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
