Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein was an American artist known for his role in the Pop Art movement during the 1960s. He creatively used techniques from comic books and advertising, such as bold colors, thick outlines, and Ben-Day dots, to produce large-scale paintings and sculptures. His work often features dramatic narratives and relatable themes, challenging traditional notions of fine art by incorporating commercial aesthetics. Lichtenstein's iconic pieces, like "Whaam!" and "Drowning Girl," reflect both a critique and celebration of popular culture, making him a significant figure in contemporary art.
