BERSSON  \n# RESPONDING to ART\n\nForm,Content,and Context  \nRESPONDING to ART  \n# COVER ART\n\nRoy Lichtenstein's painting Artist's Studio:The Dance (front cover)and Henri Matisse's painting The Dance(back cover)embody different ways of seeing.Viewers'reactions to these paintings likewise embody dis-tinct ways of seeing based on their own unique life experiences and points of view.For example,feministart historian Carol Duncan critiques early twentieth-century avant-garde paintings like The Dance as malefantasies in which“women simply exist as sensual beings or abandon themselves to spontaneous and art-less self-expression.\"In comparison,art historian Jack Flam responds most positively to Matisse's 1909painting.He writes that Matisse associated the theme of dance with vitality and rejuvenation.Dance forthe artist was something extraordinary—life and rhythm—“and throughout his life he associated the dancewith a kind of primitive potency.\"  \nA wide range of response has likewise greeted Roy Lichtenstein's“pop art\"paintings since their riseto public attention in the 1960s.But their ability to stir up controversy aside,The Artist's Studio and TheDance are worlds apart and yet intimately connected.Within the setting of Lichtenstein's artist's studio一note the paintbrushes,tube of paint,and still-life objects on the table—we observe his own version ofMatisse's The Dance.What you might note right away about the Lichtenstein painting is its cartoonlikeappearance,and with good reason.The artist found the visual language of the cartoon strip“forceful andvital\"and applied it to his own paintings,sculptures,and ceramics.A mass-media cartoon style of cleanlines,clearcut shapes,areas of solid black and white and flat primary colors,and shorthand shading tech-niques characterize The Artist's Studio.For his use of a popular,cartoon-based artistic language and for hiswitty play upon masterworks of the past like Matisse's The Dance,Lichtenstein is considered an artisticfounder of the contemporary direction known as\"postmodernism.\"His way of seeing and representingis at one with our age of mechanical reproduction,commercial culture,and mass media.  \nHenri Matisse,in contrast,was a leader of\"modernism,\"the art movement that dominated the firsthalf of the twentieth century.Modernism emphasized a humanistic and individualistic abstract art.Far lesscomfortable with the mass media,mechanical reproduction,and the industrial age,Matisse's paintings,drawings,and sculptures pulse with modernist values such as personal self-expression and creativity.Hispainting The Dance looks a bit childlike,even primitive,a combination of clumsiness,innocence,and grace.The five nude female figures are highly simplified,flattened,and abstracted as are the green ground andblue background—all stylized in his own special way.But the women are drawn from life,not from Licht-enstein's world of mass-media cartoon language and style.Matisse carefully studied actual dancers andhuman models in these poses to capture the essence of their movements.One senses his trial-and-errorstruggle to delineate the circling women,dancers of an idyllic,imagined realm,a kind of Arcadia or Gar-den of Eden far from the industrial present.The final result is a work that has a very subjective and hand-made quality—one can see Matisse's brushstrokes and erasures—based on an artist's direct observationand creative transformation of his human models.  \nTo learn more about Henri Matisse and Roy Lichtenstein,modernism
