Roy Lichtenstein was one of the first to bring American Pop art form to the creative world. He shocked people with his exuberant style and comic book looking designs. Roy was born in New York in the year 1923 and drew ever since he was little. In the 1960s he received a job at Rutgers University where he was deeply influenced by a man by the name of Allan Kaprow. As you can tell he was also influenced by comics.
Personally I love his work and his particular style. He really motivates with his work and reminds me of clothing companies that I admire like OBEY. His style catches peoples attention but on top of that he was one of this first to do it. The Half-tones, colors and bold lines. All of his work is very similar to each other but very different from other works of art.
I'm not surprised that you like his work, it's very graphic and has a comic book, graphic novel feel to it. good comments.. But is he then only artist of recent times that you like or are drawn to?
