Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 Roy Lichtenstein1923-1997 Timeline Roy Fox Lichtenstein was born on October 27, 1923, in New York City Lichtenstein attended The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. His college studies were interrupted in 1943, when he was drafted and sent to Europe for World War II. In 1960, he started teaching at Rutgers University where he was heavily influenced by Allan Kaprow, who was also a teacher at the university. This environment helped reignite his interest in Proto-pop imagery. In 1961, Lichtenstein began his first pop paintings using cartoon images and techniques derived from the appearance of commercial printing. He moved back to New York to be at the center of the art scene and resigned from Rutgers University in 1964 to concentrate on his painting. It was this time that he began to get recognized worldwide. He died in New York City, NY at the age of 73. The day he died is considered to be the day that pop art died. Personality Lichtenstein is usually characterized as ironic, humorous and witty. He openly commented on his own works. The personalitys below- mostly taken from interviews - show a very sensitive, intelligent and overt personality.

Whaam! is a 1963 diptych painting by the American artist Roy Lichtenstein. It is one of the best-known works of pop art, and among Lichtenstein's most important paintings. Roy Lichtenstein was one of the first American Pop artists to achieve widespread renown, and he became a lightning rod for criticism of the movement. His early work ranged widely in style and subject matter, and displayed considerable understanding of modernist painting: Lichtenstein would often maintain that he was as interested in the abstract qualities of his images as he was in their subject matter. However, the mature Pop style he arrived at in 1961, which was inspired by comic strips, was greeted by accusations of banality, lack of originality, and, later, even copying. His high-impact, iconic images have since become synonymous with Pop art, and his method of creating images, which blended aspects of mechanical reproduction and drawing by hand, has become central to critics' understanding of the significance of the movement Artist Style Drowning Girl (also known as Secret Hearts or I Don't Care! I'd Rather Sink) is a 1963 painting with oil and synthetic polymer paint on canvas by Roy Lichtenstein.
