Roy Lichtenstein
Roy Lichtenstein solidified his unique style of painting in the early sixties through pieces such as Look Mickey and Drowning Girl. Providing his subjects with complex emotion, Lichtenstein often morphed commercial art with palpable human energy. By focusing on this theme, Lichtenstein was able to offer an astute commentary on societys own sanitization of human feeling.
