Painter Roy Lichtenstein was born in New York and grew up on the Upper West Side. In the 1960s, he became a leading figure of the new Pop Art movement, which also included Andy Warhol, James Rosenquest and Claes Oldenburg. Inspired by advertisements and comic strips, Lichtenstein's bright, graphic works parodied American popular culture and the art world itself. In addition to paintings, he also made drawings, prints, and sculpture; his work is the most important museum collections worldwide.
