Roy Fox Lichtenstein [pronounced /ˈlɪktənˌstaɪn/; October 27, 1923 –
September 29, 1997] was an American pop artist. During the 1960s, along
with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and James Rosenquist among others, he
became a leading figure in the new art movement. His work defined the
basic premise of pop art through parody. Favoring the comic strip as his
main inspiration, Lichtenstein produced hard-edged, precise
compositions that documented while it parodied often in a
tongue-in-cheek humorous manner. His work was heavily influenced by both
popular advertising and the comic book style. He described pop art as
"not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting". His
paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City.
Whaam! and Drowning Girl are generally regarded as Lichtenstein's most famous works, with Oh, Jeff...I Love You, Too...But... arguably third. Drowning Girl, Whaam! and Look Mickey are regarded as his most influential works. Woman with Flowered Hat has held the record for highest Lichtenstein auction price since May 15, 2013.
