Roy Lichtenstien

At the age 33 he did his first piece of pop art a picture of a dollar bill. In 1916 Lichtenstein completed this first piece of pop art from a comic strip called "Look Micky."

Most of Lichtenstein work considering comic strips used the method Benday Dots (dotting oil paint on to a picture so they are big and bold to see unlike in the comic strips. Most of his comic book art lasted in the 1960's but can be see in many places today.

Lichtenstein was still creating art works until he died on the 29th November 1997.
