Roy LICHTENSTEIN - the kiss 1964
Kiss II a connu le record du prix d'enchères le plus élevé pour une peinture de Lichtenstein. Roy Lichtenstein, né le 27 octobre 1923 à Manhattan (New York), où il est mort le 29 septembre 1997, est un des artistes les plus importants du mouvement pop art américain. Ses œuvres s'inspirent fortement de la publicité et de l'imagerie populaire de son époque, ainsi que des bandes dessinées (« comics »). Il décrit lui-même son style comme étant « aussi artificiel que possible ».

Sa voix chaude et puissante fait de lui un interprète de choix dans le registre pop et funk. Adoptant un style vestimentaire branché pour l'époque (pantalons moulants et chemise à col pelle à tarte), il met à profit sur scène son sex-appeal, déclenchant l'hystérie de ses fans

You don't have to be beautiful To turn me on
I just need your body, baby From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me I'll show you what it's all about

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your ... kiss

You got to not talk dirty, baby If you wanna impress me
You can't be too flirty, mama I know how to undress me
Let me be your fantasy And maybe, you can be mine
You just leave it all up to me We could have a good time

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your ... kiss

I think I'd better dance now

Women and girls rule my world I said they rule my world
Act your age woman, not your shoe size Maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty To have an attitude
You gotta leave it all up to me My love will be your food

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign, I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your ... kiss
