The Drowning Girl by Roy Liechtenstein
This is a painting done by Roy Liechtenstein in 1963. It is one of Liechtenstein's most well known works, and one of the most representative paintings of the pop art movement. It is known as The Drowning Girl and was derived from a 1962 DC comic. It can now be found at the Museum of Modern Art. Liechtenstein takes a work of art that is not meant to be this dramatic but is able to create a sense that the woman is in emotional distress and would rather die than ask a man named Brad for help. The artist was able to give this same effect with many of his paintings. He changes the meaning to what he wants it to be to create something completely different.
