One of the most renowned American Pop artists, Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) was a leading figure in 20th century art. He worked and exhibited alongside artists such as Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns. His signature comic strip-inspired works serve not only as societal parody and commentary, but as documentation of American culture, pulling inspiration from advertisements as well. His unmissable style remains recognizable and unique, featuring bold primary colors and often larger than life sized compositions.
