The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: Lichtenstein

Because I created this collage on a computer, and made this picture by simply photographing the screen, it has never had much fidelity. I have used Lightroom to attempt an injection of contrast and clarity, not altogether successfully I'm afraid. So I posted it in ipernity afresh just to use picmonkey on the image, because I have discovered that what one photo processing program cannot do, another one sometimes can. And although it is not perfect - nowhere near - it nonetheless is an improvement. The collage comprises clipped newspaper articles and advertisements; items found in old magazines (some very old indeed); an old knitting pattern cover; a detail from the cover of a book published by university undergraduates in the early 1970s; an old family photograph (but I don't know who they are/were); a detail from a letterpress printing project by Walter Partridge of the Perdix Press; stuff noticed on the internet; and even an original photograph taken on a day out. Photographed with a Nikon D700 and a 55mm Micro-Nikkor f/3.5 AI lens direct from the computer screen.

I don't think it's Lichtenstein. A copy, perhaps. Like Lichtenstein copied DC Comics, perhaps. Everything is derivative in some way.

Early 1970s. Advertising campaign for Cossack vodka mimicking the work of Roy Lichtenstein (who himself appropriated style and ideas from DC comics, but nothing much is original, and this is no criticism of Roy).
