Introduction to Pop Art and Lichtenstein

Pop Art, an artistic movement that emerged in the 50s and 60s, revolutionised the perception of art by drawing on popular culture and advertising. Roy Lichtenstein, one of the movement's leading figures, made a name for himself with his comic-book-inspired works, recognisable by their bright colours, Ben-Day dots and dramatic themes.
