The most iconic works by American artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997) are widely known, reproduced, copied, and even parodied. But the true diversity and complexity of his oeuvre are little understood, and the full scope of his career is largely absent from the existing literature. The images reproduced here have been selected from the more than 160 paintings, sculptures, drawings, and collages that appear in the authoritative new exhibition catalogue Roy Lichtenstein: A Retrospective by James Rondeau and Sheena Wagstaff, with contributions by an international team of distinguished curators, critics, and art historians including Harry Cooper, curator and head of the department of modern art, National Gallery of Art. This book examines each period in Lichtenstein’s career, going well beyond the classic pop romance and war cartoon paintings that made him famous.
