Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born in New York City in 1923, Roy Lichtenstein is known for his contributions to Pop Art, hence being considered a founder of the art movement. His works are reminiscent of comic strips, and his style takes influences from van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early on in his career, Roy\u2019s work took the form of Western-style pieces from 1951 to around 1957, depicting cowboys and Indians. He later began incorporating pop culture figures such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lichtenstein eventually began to paint, advertisement illustrations, variants of other artists\u2019 works and adaptations of paintings by older artists such as Piet Mondrian around 1961. He also began painting his famous comic style pieces the same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roy\u2019s cartoon pieces involved themes such as romance and war, while also depicting sound effects, portraying onomatopoeia in large and bold letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lichenstein eventually hosted his first show in his hometown during 1962, which achieved outstanding success and global attention. Roy was also the first artist in the U.S. to exhibit their work in the London Tate Gallery in 1966.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Roy\u2019s work achieves a unique identity, with his easily-distinguished comic style pieces and relatively recent work, depicting furnished interiors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
