Roy Lichtenstein Background

5 Examples of Lichtenstein Art:








"Ben-Day" Dots are small colored dots that vary in color and are arranged on a paper to create a picture or optical illusion. Also they overlap or are spaced out. They are always equal in size and distributed in specific areas. 


Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein both do pop culture art, however they are different. Andy repeats his picture in a box formation (ex: # rows and 3 columns of the same picture). Also Andy changes the pictures color and layout. Roy has captions on his pictures and he uses dots in his pictures (similar to what you would see in comics). Also Roy does not duplicate his picture and not always everything is "dotted".
