Crying Girl
''Crying Girl'' is the name of two different works by Roy Lichtenstein: a 1963 offset lithograph on lightweight, off-white wove paper and a 1964 porcelain enamel on steel.
==Background==
During the late 1950s and early 1960s a number of American painters began to adapt the imagery and motifs of comic strips. Lichtenstein in 1958 made drawings of comic strip characters. Andy Warhol produced his earliest paintings in the style in 1960. Lichtenstein, unaware of Warhol's work, produced ''Look Mickey'' and ''Popeye'' in 1961. In the early 1960s, Lichtenstein produced several "fantasy drama" paintings of women in love affairs with domineering men causing women to be miserable. These works served as prelude to 1964 paintings of innocent "girls next door" in a variety of tenuous emotional states.〔Waldman, p. 113.〕 Picasso's depictions of weeping women may have influenced Lichtenstein to produce portrayals of vulnerable teary-eyed women. Another possible influence on his emphasis on depicting distressed women in the early to mid-1960s was that his first marriage was dissolving at the time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roy Lichtenstein at the Met )〕 Lichtenstein's first marriage to Isabel Wilson, which resulted in two sons, lasted from 1949 to 1965.
Although single-panel comic representations depict a moment in time, this is an example of one in which the moment is "pregnant" with drama related to other times. This work also marks a phase in Lichtenstein's career, when many of his works were named with present-participial names such as ''Sleeping Girl'', ''Crying Girl'' and ''Blonde Waiting'', which accentuates the works' "relation to process and action."〔
