1962 a turning point in the Pop Art movement

 

In 1962, on the occasion of an exhibition in New York, Roy Lichtenstein and other future "stars" of the Pop Art movement such as Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Tom Wesselmann and James Reconquist are under the sunlight for the first time.

Black outlines, saturated colors, synthetic ... Lichtenstein drawings inspired by the mechanical technique of BD and its iconography in order to emerge a blast of energy and expressiveness from his works.
