Roy Lichtenstein

Along with Warhol, Lichtenstein created the Pop Art Movement. But some view him as a plagiarist. Was he a great artist, a thief, or both?

In Southampton, Roy Lichtenstein works on an elaborate, 4-canvas composition called "The Artist's Studio". In conversation with Lichtenstein, critic Lawrence Alloway places Pop Art on a continuum of 20th century art that includes collage, Dada, and Purism in referring to signs and objects of contemporary society. Lichtenstein argues for distinctions between himself, Warhol, Oldenburg, and others.
