Roy Lichtenstein’s paintings revolutionised modern art with their bold use of comic book imagery, industrial printing techniques and striking primary colours. Emerging in the early 1960s, his works redefined the boundaries between commercial and fine art, drawing inspiration from popular culture, advertising and romance comics. His meticulous application of Ben-Day dots mimicked the mechanical reproduction process, creating a distinct visual language that satirised both mass media and traditional painting. Works like Whaam! (1963) and Drowning Girl (1963) exemplify his ability to distill emotion into stylised, graphic compositions. Throughout his career, Lichtenstein expanded his subjects to include art historical references, abstract landscapes and nudes, solidifying his place as a leading figure in Pop Art.
