Roy Lichtenstein and Pop Culture

Drowning Girl
Oil on canvas; 1963
Museum of Modern Art, New York

One of the earliest known examples of pop art, Drowning Girl, incorporates borrowed images from magazine advertisements and newspaper comic strips, which later became the focus of lichtenstein's compositions. His works, which were regarded by many as being beyond the bounds of fine art during the 1960s, are now considered icons of the Pop Art movement and have secured the artist's place in art history.
