About Roy Lichtenstein
He was inspired by newspaper advertisements and comic strips, and he often reproduced these every day images in his artwork. Instead of using paint to add color to his work, he used stencils to fill in areas on canvas with small dots, known as Ben-Day dots.

About This Piece
In the 1960s, Lichtenstein expanded his practice to include things beyond just painting. Often he would incorporate industrial materials, like Plexiglas and Rowlux, into his works. Further, he began working with ceramics and sculpture, one of his most iconic works being a series of freestanding, cartoon aesthetic brushstrokes of color.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
The Artist
Roy Lichtenstein was a Pop artist whose work was torn from the pages of torrid pulp fiction novels and classic comic books. Lichtenstein was initially a university instructor where he was influenced by artists who based their styles on everyday life. First painting semi-abstractions of the Old West, he later depicted 20th century Americana such as Mickey Mouse and bubble gum wrappers. In 1961, he began exclusively painting comic strip scenes printed with a process that simulated photoengraver’s dots. Lichtenstein’s other works exposed the contradictions of representing three dimensions on a flat surface.
