This kaleidoscopic exhibition catalog celebrates Lichtenstein's multifaceted career-from his
iconic achievements in the Pop Art movement and beyond. Published to mark the centennial of
Lichtenstein's birth this retrospective volume is brimming with brilliant reproductions that
highlight the entirety of the artist's oeuvre. It features the acclaimed works that helped
establish 1960s pop art-panels inspired by comic strips and advertising which send up societal
stereotypes. It looks at his pioneering use of painted benday dots and carefully drawn and
in-filled brushstrokes his interiors and landscapes re-stagings of still lifes his expansion
into sculpture and ceramics and works that pay homage to famous artists such as Picasso Monet
and Van Gogh. Throughout this magnificent catalog readers will come to appreciate not only
Lichtenstein's vibrant and dynamic use of color line and texture but also how his continuing
confrontation with the visual language of popular culture and consumerism continues to resonate
today.
