Roy Lichtenstein Bio

M-Maybe
Important 20th century Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein’s work came directly from the pages of pulp fiction novels and comic books. Lichtenstein originally taught at a university, drawing inspiration from artists who depicted everyday life. He first painted semi-abstract Old West scenes, before shifting to Americana. He later produced comic strip scenes printed with a process that replicated comic book-style dots. In other works, Lichtenstein explored the contradictions of three dimensions represented on flat surfaces.

"I'm not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I don't really want it to carry one." ~ Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein (1923 - 1997) was a prominent American pop artist, whose work borrowed heavily from popular advertising and comic book styles, which he himself described as being "as artificial as possible."

Roy Lichtenstein was born on 27 October 1923 into an upper-middle-class family in New York City, and attended public school until he was 12. He then enrolled at the Franklin School for Boys, in Manhattan, for his secondary education. The school did not have an art department, and he became interested in art and design as hobby outside of his schooling. He was an avid fan of jazz and often attended concerts at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. He would often draw portraits of the musicians at their instruments. During 1939, in his final year at the academy, he enrolled in summer art classes at the Art Students League of New York under the tutelage of Reginald Marsh.¹
