Pop Art Comic
Pop Art has started in
England in late 50's and grown in United States in early 60's.
Among the Pop Art forerunners are two unique models - prototypes of the
modern artists: the French artist Marcel Duchamp and the German Kurt
Schwitters. Roy Lichtenstein was an American artist closely associated with the Pop
Art movement of the 1960s, thanks to cartoon-inspired ironic works such
as Whaam! and Drowning Girl ("I Don't Care! I'd Rather
Sink Than Call Brad For Help!"). He grew up in Manhattan and studied
art at Ohio State University, starting in 1940. Lichtenstein was drafted
into the Army in 1943 and served in an engineer batallion, finishing up
World War II in Europe. He was discharged in 1946 and returned to the
U.S., where he finished his degrees in art at Ohio State (BFA, 1946 and
MFA, 1951). During the mid-1950s he lived in Cleveland, but traveled
often to New York, where he had his first one-man show in 1951.
Lichtenstein moved to New York in 1957 and taught college classes while
exhibiting mostly Expressionist-influenced paintings. By 1961 he'd begun
painting tongue-in-cheek imitations of advertising art and panels from
war and romance comics.
