The Popular Image Roy Lichtenstenin

The Popular Image traces the development of the artist’s interest in adopting both contemporary culture and art history as well as their artistic adaptation. The development of this practice becomes apparent in the transition between his early woodblocks such as The United States and the Macedonian (1953) to the precise, minimalist lithographs of his late career such as Venetian School I (1996). For Lichtenstein, the production of accessibility found merit in the dissolution of boundaries.
