Becoming Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein once said: “I take a cliche and try to organize its forms to make it monumental. The difference is often not great, but it is crucial.” Lichtenstein defied traditional good taste and became a celebrated artist by imbuing ordinary objects—from hot dogs to trash cans—with tremendous power. Join art historian and scholar Avis Berman, author of&nbsp;Roy Lichtenstein: The Impossible Collection&nbsp;(Assouline Ultimate Collection, 2019), as she traces Lichtenstein’s artistic development, the creation of his signature style, and explores his transformation into an iconic Pop artist who redefined American art in the 1960s.
