Twenty-First Century Learning

An in-depth record of the working process behind pop artist Roy Lichtensteinâ€s largest piece everâ€”a five-story-tall mural. The Art of Roy Mural with Blue Brushstroke is the rare record of a master artistâ€s work from conception to completion. Photographer Bob Adelman documents a revealing, behind-the-scenes look at the massive five-story-high mural Lichtenstein was commissioned to produce for the AXA Equitable Center in New York City, including exclusive interviews with the artist. Rarely has the public been offered such a revealing, behind-the-scenes look at the genesis of a major work of art. A colorful, complex, and bold performance, the mural combines references to the giants of twentieth-century art with cartoon â€œblastâ€ symbols, magazine advertisements, a piece of Swiss cheese, and other images and artifacts of contemporary life that have always fascinated the artist. Only Lichtenstein, â€œthe supreme virtuoso of Popâ€ ( New York Times ), could have created such an extraordinary masterpiece. 142
