Roy Lichtenstein was an American Pop Art pioneer known for transforming comic-book panels and advertising imagery into large-scale paintings. His signature Ben-Day dots, bold outlines and vibrant colours reframed mass-media visuals as fine art.
Lichtenstein’s work challenged ideas of originality, authorship and consumer culture, making him one of the most influential figures of 20th-century art. His paintings remain icons of Pop Art and cornerstones of major museum collections.
