Product description
Roy Lichtenstein (October 27, 1923 – September 29, 1997) was an American pop 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, with a three-year interruption to fulfill his military service in Europe, he studied at Ohio State University.
After graduating, Lichtenstein taught at Ohio University until 1951. In 1951, he also had his first solo exhibition at the Carlebach Gallery in New York. Until 1957, Roy Lichtenstein worked as a designer and window dresser. In his independent work, he created parodies of American art of the 1920s. From 1957 to 1960, Roy Lichtenstein taught at New York State University in Oswego. During this period, he briefly created abstract paintings, but in 1960 he met Claes Oldenburg and began experimenting with stylistic elements from advertising and comics. It was during this time that he introduced the grids, dots, black contours, and primary colors for which he became famous.
In 1962, he had a major exhibition at Leo Castelli's gallery in New York. Four years later, his first retrospective was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in Cleveland.
From the mid-1960s onward, he also created sculptures.
Roy Lichtenstein's work was also regularly exhibited in Europe. He was featured at the Venice Biennale in 1968 and 1970 and at Documenta in Kassel in 1968 and 1972. Retrospectives were organized in Amsterdam, Bern, London, and Hanover.
In 1981, a comprehensive retrospective was held at the St. Louis Art Museum, which later toured the United States, Japan, and Europe. Roy Lichtenstein died on September 29, 1997, in Manhattan, New York.
