roy lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997) was a groundbreaking American artist and one of the central figures of the Pop Art movement. Known for his bold, graphic paintings inspired by comic strips and commercial imagery, he redefined the boundaries of fine art with his use of Benday dots, flat color, and irony. His work challenged traditional ideas of taste and originality while elevating everyday visual culture to the realm of high art. Over his prolific career, Lichtenstein created thousands of paintings, prints, sculptures, and murals, and his influence continues to shape the landscape of contemporary art.
