Known for his comic book style and influenced by popular advertising, Roy Lichtenstein is one of the best known pop artists of our time.
Roy used parody and irony in his work, such as his focus on a single comic book frame which is meaningless without the other frames.
Lichtenstein also mass produced his work in factories, alot like other pop artists to copy the mass production going on in the world around him.
Lichtensteins work had a unique way in which he did his work, unlike most pop art paintings which are block colours, Roy experimented with stencils and produced rows of oversized dots in his work to make his art look machine made, when standing close to these paintings you can just see the oversized dots and you cant really focus on what the main picture is but when standing away from it the picture becomes clearer.
Roy never stopped producing work until he died unexpectedly of virul pneumonia on September 29th, 1997.
