Museum Extra Credit

IMG_11711In my trip to the Museum of Modern Art, I saw this oil painting from Roy Lichtenstein called “Drowning Girl” which was painted on 1963.  This painting stood out to me because of its dark color scheme and lack of bright colors. It gives off a angry vibe because of the dark colors. I liked this painting because it reminded me of a  comic book, which I used to read. I noticed that this “Drowning Girl” seems to have a problem with someone named Brad saving her. This made me think of her as a woman who doesn’t need to depend on a man to help her in any way. This painting reminded me of Medea, who I consider to be a modern woman in her time period. She talked about the problem that women in her society face in terms of marriage. I feel like Medea would say the same exact thing that the Drowning Girl would say, since they both aren’t in terms with men.
