Lichtenstein Roy
Whaam! Drowning Girl, and Look Mickey proved to be his most influential works.
Roy Fox Lichtenstein[2] (/ˈlɪktənˌstaɪn/; October 27, 1923 – September 29, 1997) was an American pop artist. During the 1960s, along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and James Rosenquist, he became a leading figure in the new art movement. His work defined the premise of pop art through parody.[3] Inspired by the comic strip, Lichtenstein produced precise compositions that documented while they parodied, often in a tongue-in-cheek manner. His work was influenced by popular advertising and the comic book style. His artwork was considered to be "disruptive".[4] He described pop art as "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting".[5] His paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City.
Whaam!, Drowning Girl, and Look Mickey proved to be his most influential works.[6] His most expensive piece is Masterpiece, which was sold for $165 million in 2017.[7]
