ART INSPIRED BY: ROY LICHTENSTEIN ARTKISS -
Roy Lichtenstein was a prominent American pop artist famous for producing art heavily influenced by (and parodying) comic books and advertising.
Along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, James Rosenquist and others he was a leading figure in the pop art movement.
His most famous image is arguably Whaam!, one of the earliest known examples of pop art, adapted a comic-book panel from a 1962 issue of DC Comics' All-American Men of War.
The painting depicts a fighter aircraft firing a rocket into an enemy plane, with a red-and-yellow explosion.
Most of his best-known artworks are relatively close, but not exact, copies of comic book panels, which were originally drawn by such comics artists as Jack Kirby and DC Comics artists Russ Heath, Tony Abruzzo, Irv Novick, and Jerry Grandenetti, who rarely received any credit.
