  1. The Art of Roy Lichtenstein

  2. Bio • Roy Fox Lichtenstein (October 27, 1923 – September 29, 1997) was a prominent American pop artist, his work heavily influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book style. He himself described Pop art as, "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting". • BFA (1946), MFA (1949) – The Ohio State University • Adopted the Abstract Expressionist style c. 1957 after moving to NYC • Look Mickey was the first work to feature ben day dots (1961) • Painted Whaam! In 1962 from DC Comics’ All-American Men of War

  3. Ben-day dots • The Ben-day Dots printing process, named after illustrator and printer Benjamin Day, is similar to Pointillism. Depending on the effect, color and optical illusion needed, small colored dots are closely-spaced, widely-spaced or overlapping. Magenta dots, for example, are widely-spaced to create pink. 1950s and 1960s pulp comic books used Ben-day dots in the four process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) to inexpensively create shading and secondary colors such as green, purple, orange and flesh tones.
