Roy Lichtenstein, Drowning Girl, 1963
Things to think about when studying:
- What were the dots that Lichtenstein used called?
- What movement is this work from?
- How does Lichtenstein alter his popular sources to create a work of art rather than a direct copy?

Nurse series by Richard Prince.
About: The Nurse Paintings are a series inspired by the covers and titles of inexpensive novels that were commonly sold at newspaper stands and delis (pulp romance novels). Prince scanned the covers of the books on his computer and used inkjet printing to transfer the images to canvas, and then personalized the pieces with acrylic paint (from wikipedia).

How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, ‘cause I could sing you a song,
But I don’t think words can express your beauty.
It’s singing to me.
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me.
I fell in love from the moment we kissed.
Since then, we’ve been history.
