Roy Lichtenstein was born on the 27th October 1923 in Manhattan. After painting in the style of abstract expressionism up until 1960, Lichtenstein became one of the leading artists of the American Pop Art movement. This was a very graphic style, which drew inspiration from comics and everyday media images. Surfaces were often created using ‘Ben Day dots’. These dots were stencilled to imitate the pixelated effect of printed images. His work reflected ‘popular culture’, showing the way it functioned and its significant moments, including war and social conflict. He focussed on images showing the ‘excessive’ side of life, such as the materialistic commercials of this epoch. He died in Manhattan on 29th September 1997. n his design for the Taittinger Collection, Lichentstein remained faithful to his world inspired by comic book art and transferred it into the world of paintings.
