Roy Lichenstein - 1963

This painting " I know how you must feel... " is one of my favourites, and some people find this curious, so here's why. She epitomises the 1960's sort of girl next door, Hollywood, Doris Day, Marilyn Monroe etc. and the year 1963 was a significant year in that I passed my final examinations and Clare was born, all in one week. I am not very keen on the minimalist type of modern art, or the comic style, but I find this image very touching, a little bit sad maybe but also understanding and poignant.
