Product description
Roy Lichtenstein (New York, October 27, 1923 – New York, September 29, 1997) was an American pop art artist, best known for his cartoon-like images often featuring primary colors outlined by bold black contours. From 1939 to 1940, he studied at the renowned Arts Students League in New York. From 1940 to 1949, he studied at Ohio State University, with a three-year interruption to fulfill his military service in Europe.
After his studies, Lichtenstein was a lecturer at Ohio University until 1951. In 1951, he also had his first solo exhibition at Carlebach Gallery in York. Until 1957, Roy Lichtenstein worked as a designer and window dresser. In his free work, he created parodies of American art from the 1920s. From 1957 to 1960, Roy Lichtenstein taught at the New York State University in Oswego. During this period, he briefly made abstract paintings, but in 1960, he met Claes Oldenburg and began experimenting with stylistic elements from advertising and comic strips. At this time, he introduced the grids, dots, black contour lines, and primary colors for which he became famous.
In 1962, he had an important exhibition at Leo Castelli Gallery in New York. Four years later, his first retrospective exhibition was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in Cleveland.
From the mid-1960s, he also created sculptures.
Roy Lichtenstein's work has also been regularly exhibited in Europe. He was featured at the Venice Biennale in 1968 and 1970 and Documenta in Kassel in 1968 and 1972. Retrospective exhibitions were organized in the cities of Amsterdam, Bern, London, and Hanover.
In 1981, an extensive retrospective exhibition was shown at the St. Louis Art Museum, which later toured the United States, Japan, and Europe.
Roy Lichtenstein passed away on September 29, 1997, in Manhattan, New York.
