Pop Art
October 27, 1923, New York City, New York
Roy Lichtenstein is one of the two most recognized names in Pop Art (Andy Warhol being the other). He is best known for his paintings of what appear to be machine-printed comic strips, although he was also fond of depicting advertisements. His work is characterized by his wry sense of humor, careful precision (he never let his brushwork show) and use of stencils to create the paintings' patterns of Ben Day dots. (Those were a tool graphic artists used before the advent of computer pixels.)
