ROY LITCHENSTEIN
Roy Litchenstein is a very popular artist in the pop art movement. He was a leading figure in the movement who created bright images of large comic book panels, recreated in a colourful unique opposed to the original art work. He originally experimented with the Abstract Expressionism style, but it turned out differently to the pop art style he did later on. When he came across the idea of pop art, he used paint on a canvas to make a comic book image. He refines the image with think black lines to make a comic book feel to it.
His known trait is the dot texture that appears in his work. In his early pop art work he used the dot texture on faces and hands which makes it look different than a block colour for the skin.
