More DescriptionOne of the founders of pop art, Roy Lichtenstein is best known for largescale renditions of comic-strip art, and for fusing comicbook techniques with 'high art' in his appropriations of such artists as Picasso and Mondrian. His distinctive look - filled with brilliant colour, dots and stripes - is one of the most identifiable in all contemporary art.

And A is for ART, Lichtenstein's first pop comic masterpiece, Look Mickey, now in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.
