Roy Lichtenstein was born in 1923 in New York. His father was a real estate agent and his mother was a housewife. When he was fourteen, he attended Parson’s School of Design once a week and the Art Students’ League for three years. After returning from the Army, he worked as a commercial designer and a teacher. The story goes that his children challenged him into painting something similar to Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck comics. He did and the rest is history.

Lichtenstein used stencils to make rows of oversized dots to make his prints or paintings look machine made. His peculiarity was that he did not want to use brush strokes. He also used screen prints, lithographs, etchings and woodcuts. He even combined them in one print. He made use of Ben-Day dots and speech balloons for the first time.

In 1962, he held his first one-man show at Castelli. This launched his career as a pop artist. His first famous work was the Ten Dollar Bill print. His popular works include Whaam!, Kiss V, Thinking of Him, Girl with Hair Ribbon, etc. After Andy Warhol, Lichtenstein is probably the most renowned Pop Art Artist.
