Roy Lichtenstein on the WWW

Lichtenstein, Roy (1923-1997), American pop art painter, graphic artist, and sculptor, best known for his large-scale renditions of comic-strip art. His early work was in the abstract expressionist style, but after 1957 he began to experiment with freely interpreted cartoon images from bubble-gum wrappers and with travestied images taken from paintings of the Old West by the American artist Frederick Remington. By 1961 Lichtenstein was completely dedicated to the making of art from mass-produced, merchandising images. His comic-strip paintings are blowups of the original cartoon characters, reproduced by hand, with the same technique of benday dots and bright primary colors used in printing. Roy Lichtenstein died of pneumonia on September 29th, 1997, in New York. He was 73.
