Essentially, every photographic print is made up of numerous tiny dots that are irregular in form and greyness but are too little to be used in printing the photograph. They successfully create continuous grey tones. Damien Hirst from the United Kingdom is also known for contemporizing Ben-Day dots via his absorbed, zoomed-in dot painting method of the 1990s. It is always noted, even by those who criticize his style, that Roy did actually make more or less subtle variations to the original source, more often than not, framing only an area of a panel or sometimes merging two or more panels into a single image. If I looked up from Miles’ point of view, if I looked up through his eyes, all those things would be in the world around me: the Ben-Day dots, the offsets, the line work on people’s faces, all those things would actually exist. However, with all fairness to the likes of Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, the creators of Superman, the controversies over Roy’s alleged plagiarism should not be ignored. These two creators were poorly treated by their publishers, and while this is a different matter, it is ethically related.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a computer-animated superhero film from 2018 produced by Sony Pictures Animation and Columbia Pictures in collaboration with Marvel. The film is touted as one of the best examples of translating comics into motion pictures, and the creators did so without losing anything in translation. If the brush for the expression lines is too wide or too thin (depends on the size of your illustration), you can adjust the brush width. To do this, go to the brush panel, where you’ll find the brush you use for the expression lines. Pointillism was pioneered by two French artists, Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, in the late 19th century. While Seurat is often credited as the primary founder of Pointillism, Signac played a significant role in developing and promoting the technique alongside him. Seurat’s seminal work, “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” (1884-1886), marked the official birth of Pointillism and introduced it to the art world. Through his incorporation of Ben-Day dots, Lichtenstein explored themes of mass culture, consumerism, and the deconstruction of artistic hierarchies. His paintings often depicted popular imagery, such as comic book characters, in a larger-than-life format. He invited viewers to reconsider the value and significance of these seemingly mundane subjects. Thomson said the following about the thought behind these flourishes appropriated from the source medium:

We are almost done. Since we are creating this effect for an avatar, you might want to make the dots smaller or bigger after seeing how it looks like a small icon. You can keep the width of the dots even if you change the illustration size. The exhibition highlights Lichtenstein as primarily an easel artist, exploring his career as a painter., Other artists such as Tracy Emin who used her bed as a source of exploration are in some ways similar to Lichtenstein in the way she focuses in on the bed, composing it like a painting and reinterpreting the narrative of the bed, Lichtenstein is doing something similar except he is using popular culture, comic books and advertising to reinterpret their original context. The exhibition shows a deeper more complex side of Lichtenstein’s creativity, exploring his style from past to present, indicating that it is not so much the subject matter that interests him but more the way he approaches his subject. Roy never painted Ben-Day dots; instead, he painted his own dots. For example, if you compare one of Lichtenstein’s pieces titled Sleeping Girl (1964) with its comic book source No Cure For Love – Heart Throbs no. 70, Feb –Mar 1961 by John Romita, you will clearly spot the difference. They do not look alike.

This is the first public gallery show of Lichtenstein’s paintings to be held in Britain since Tate Modern’s well-attended retrospective in London, in 2013. The artists only other UK museum exhibition was at Tate in 1968. Now, Tate Liverpool has compiled as part of their highly regarded ArtistRooms series another chance to see this important artist’s work. With Pointillism, artists move away from the traditional method of directly mixing colours on the palette. They instead rely on the viewer’s perception to blend and interpret the individual dots, resulting in a unique and striking visual experience. Lichtenstein carefully selected and placed the dots to mimic the halftone patterns and shading techniques commonly found in printed images. This technique allowed him to recreate the bold, graphic style of commercial illustrations and comment on the pervasive influence of mass media on society.Even if you have no idea what they are called or used for, you have probably seen them in pieces of art or comic books: The little colored dots that compose the color portions of an artwork or comic book panel, as well as many cheaply printed materials from the 20th century and today. The canvases at the Broad Museum were also made from similar screens as the portraits from the World Fair. However, looking from a distance, the mug shots resemble an actual photograph and appear as if the original images had just been enlarged. Ben-Day was first used in newspaper images, prompting the ensuing collaborative relationship between comics/newspapers and dots. Before the technique was applied to fine art, it was applied predominantly in comic books, comic strips, and newspapers. But as cheaper and faster printing methods adapted toward mass consumption were invented, the dots became an alternative production technique in the world of art. Lichtenstein's interest in comic book imagery emerged in the early 1960s, a period when he began to explore the visual language of mass media and consumer culture. Inspired by the graphic and commercial nature of comic books, he sought to reproduce their distinctive dot patterns in his paintings, effectively blurring the line between high and low art. I love Lichtenstein’s use of colour. As much as he is considered a commercially inspired artist, there is something spiritual about his work also. , ‘Moonscape’, 1965, screen print on plastic is a wonderful deep hue, and the intensity of that blue conjures up so many emotions. Again seascape, 1965 uses materials of the time, plastic and screen print to celebrate the materials and ways they are used within the artistic process.

The Ben-Day dots are tiny dots in different colors used in a commercial printing technique. The technique was invented by illustrator and printer Benjamin Henry Day, whom it was named after, in 1879.

In both techniques, the dots are arranged on a square grid, though Ben-Day dots are of the same sizes while halftone dots are of different sizes. Although they are widely known for playing an essential role in comic printing during the 20th century, Ben-Day dots were also significant in the work of American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein.
