Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein was born on the 27^th of October 1923, and died on the 29^th of September 1997, he was an American pop artist. During the 1960’s along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and many others became a leading figure in the new art movement. Favouring the comic strip as this main inspiration, he produced hard-edged, precise compositions that was well known while often being mocked in a tongue in cheek manner. His work was majorly influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book styles, but describes pop art as “not American painting but actually industrial painting”

I wanted to included this artist into my blog because I like how he has created images that don't necessarily have much detail to them but portrays a message through each image describing and showing the different emotional troubles the character face in their life.
