Lichtenstein adopted the styles and mannerisms of mass market comics, and turned them into a sophisticated commentary on identity and Western values, creating an accessible space for casual viewers of fine art. Along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg he created what became the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, a direct response to the sensory assault of the New York Abstract Expressionists in the previous decade. This powerful new book is packed with Lichtenstein's strident and powerful art.
