Roy Lichtenstein was an American artist, known as a leading figure of the pop art movement. Lichtenstein is most remembered for his comic-strip panel paintings, in which he created large-scale artworks based on comic-book images. He later used the Ben-Day dot aesthetic to create commissioned public artworks and several print editions.
