Roy Lichtenstein(1923-2005)Was a leading American Pop artist. He began by painting cowboy and Indian
subjects; he was influenced by Abstract Impression­ism in 1957, and by 1961
achieved a breakthrough with his enlarged dot images. His usually large pictures
are based on the magnification of details from advertisements of everyday
objects - a foot on a pedal-bin, a hand holding a sponge, a cooker with food in
the open oven, and strip-cartoons. His technique imitates the coarse screen
process of cheap newspaper printing, and his stylized forms translate his
commonplace sources into simple but powerful patterns, expressed in strong
primary colors, or in black and white.
Roy Lichtenstein’s famous paintings include:
- Stepping Out
- Masterpiece
- Girl with a Ball
- Hopeless
- Woman with Flowered Hat
- Purist Painting with Bottles
- Two Figures with Teepee
- Woman in a Bath
- Blam
- Portrait of a Woman
