Book excerpt: The conversation between Roy Lichtenstein and Melinda Camber Porter took place on December 18, 1983, when Roy Lichtenstein's Greene Street Mural drew crowds to Leo Castelli's landmark SoHo Greene Street Gallery in downtown New York. Roy Lichtenstein describes to Melinda Camber Porter the many influences on his art from the Renaissance painters to Japanese art in terms of his brush strokes, perspective, and styles.Melinda Camber Porter asks Roy Lichtenstein, "What kind of emotions were you expressing in the Green Street Mural?" Roy Lichtenstein responds, "The emotions I deal with are placement and a kinesthetic sense of position and color. I am removed from the emotions I am depicting because they are usually ironic or are even silly sometimes. But the emotion a painting contains should be a unity. And it is another emotion altogether."
