Roy Lichtenstein plot

Lichtenstein caused a lot of commotion in the art world in the 1960s with his highly magnified comic objects: blondes, superheroes and Mickey Mouse. In a coarse grid and fragments, he always shows the banal world of the consumer society, of advertising, the comic strip and the cliché. Benday-Dots became his trademark. In 1964 the New York Times wrote: One of America's Worst Artists. In recent decades, together with Andy Warhol, he has been one of the greatest icons of Pop Art. Chris Hunt met the artist in his New York studio.
