ROY LICHTENSTEIN (1923–1997)
Lichtenstein elevated comic book imagery to high art with his signature Ben-Day dots and sharp wit. Works like Whaam!and Drowning Girl blend parody and homage, critiquing mass culture and art history alike. His art resides in the Whitney Museum, MoMA, and the Lichtenstein Foundation.
"I'm interested in portraying a sort of anti-sensibility that pervades culture."
