Lichtenstein’s comic style works emphasized on the use of Ben-Day dots,\u00a0 other consistent patterns,\u00a0 flat colours and clean outlines.\u00a0Some of his most famous works were\u00a0Whaam!<\/em> (1963) and\u00a0Drowning Girl (1963). <\/em>Lichtenstein was also known for his\u00a0Brushstrokes<\/i>\u00a0series where he used brushstroke as a subject matter. In this series of paintings, he continued to experiment with comic cartoon style and its mechanically produced appearance.<\/p>\n

Since the art audience in the 60s were not familiar with the commercial industry and comic books, some critics were rather harsh on his works as they refused to categorize his works as art. Another controversy surrounded the idea of him merely copying comic cartoons. Despite public’s criticism, Lichtenstein believed that he wasn’t simply reproducing illustrations from comic book panels. Rather, he was attempting to broaden subject matter by introducing comic style in the art community. Lichtenstein also believed that his paintings had no inherent social message or representation of his inner mind.<\/p>\n
