Author Description

Pop! Zam! Ka-pow! The witty, stilted art of Roy Lichtenstein makes an immediate impact on the viewer. His larger-than-life paintings and prints helped turn Pop Art into one of the most popular movements in modern art. Rich with color, drama, and invention, Lichtenstein 2009 presents twelve classic works by the Pop icon. Lichtenstein's work has influenced generations of artists, illustrators, designers, and graphic novelists. The uniquely cinematic quality of his frozen images keeps them remarkably relevant and fresh in the modern media age. The Museum of Modern Art has an extensive collection of Lichtenstein's paintings, prints, works on paper, and sculpture.
