Lichtenstein - Taschen book

Discover the pioneer of pop art in the introduction to Roy Lichtenstein, whose comic book images exploded onto the art scene in the late 1950s and forever changed the concept of fine art. Lichtenstein reveled in American consumer culture, while simultaneously critiquing it by appropriating the form and content of mass media.
