To see Lichenstein's work in person is surreal considering he is a pioneer of pop art. 'Whaam!' is such a powerful piece that dominated the gallery wall. To see it online is one thing but having it right in front of you on such a huge scale, i really felt immersed in it and like i was there as part of the story. I was able to see how carefully constructed the peice is and how detailed it is which can be overlooked when you're just looking at a computer image. This piece can be split into two parts - the attacking plane and the explosion this is shown by the line dividing the parts up. the attacking plane has a lot of tonal value to it there was intricate lines and dots that formulate the gray/blue tones where as the explosion side has a deeper focus on colour and bold lines. Both sides coexist to make an iconic 1960's art work.
