His early work ranged widely in style and subject matter, anddisplayed considerable understanding of modernist painting: Lichtenstein wouldoften maintain that he was as interested in the abstract qualities of hisimages as he was in their subject matter. However, the mature Pop style hearrived at in 1961, which was inspired by comic strips, was greeted byaccusations of banality, lack of originality, and, later, even copying. Hishigh-impact, iconic images have since become synonymous with Pop art, and hismethod of creating images, which blended aspects of mechanical reproduction anddrawing by hand, has become central to critics' understanding of thesignificance of the movement.By embracing "low" art such as comicbooks and popular illustration, Lichtenstein became one of the most importantfigures in the Pop art movement. While his paintings of cartoons and comics arehis most recognizable work, he had a prolific and somewhat eclectic career thatdrew from Cubism, Surrealism, and Expressionism. But it is his re-imagining ofpopular culture through the lens of traditional art history that has remained aconsiderable influence to later generations of artists, as Pop art went on tosignificantly inform Postmodernism. ….Delightful addition to your art collection…. ……………………………...Payment…………..………….……...We accept Paypal and all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express & Discover) via Paypal for payment.
