Roy Lichtenstein: A Centennial Exhibition

The coffee-table book "Roy Lichtenstein," published on the occasion of the American artist's 100th birthday, is packed with brilliant reproductions highlighting Lichtenstein's entire body of work. The book includes the acclaimed works that helped establish the pop art of the 1960s - panels inspired by comic strips and advertising, which denounced social stereotypes.

This retrospective of Roy Lichtenstein shows the pioneering use of painted benday dots and carefully drawn and filled-in brushstrokes, his interiors and landscapes, re-imaginings of still lifes, his expansion into sculpture and ceramics, and works that pay homage to famous artists such as Picasso, Monet and Van Gogh.

Through this wonderful art book, readers will come to appreciate not only Lichtenstein's vibrant and dynamic use of color, line and texture, but also how his constant confrontation with the imagery of popular culture and consumerism still resonates today.
