comic strip
roy lichtenstein is of equal importance to american pop art. his work, and its use of parody, probably defines the basic premise of pop art better than any other. selecting the old-fashioned comic strip as subject matter, lichtenstein produces a hard-edged, precise composition that documents while also parodying in a soft manner. lichtenstein used oil and magna paint in his best known works, such as "drowning girl" (1963), which was appropriated from the lead story in dc comics' "secret hearts" #83. ("drowning girl" is part of the collection of the museum of modern art.) his work features thick outlines, bold colors and ben-day dots to represent certain colors, as if created by photographic reproduction. lichtenstein said, "[abstract expressionists] put things down on the canvas and responded to what they had done, to the color positions and sizes. my style looks completely different, but the nature of putting down lines pretty much is the same; mine just don't come out looking calligraphic, like pollock's or kline's." pop art merges popular and mass culture with fine art while injecting humor, irony, and recognizable imagery/content into the mix.
