Transcript: by Charlie White In 1940, Lichtenstein began taking painting classes, and later that year, he went to Ohio State University, where he studied drawing and design.

Some more famous pieces of Pop art are Andy Warhol’s “Campbell’s Soup Cans”, “Shot Marilyns” and Roy Lichtenstein’s “Drowning girl”.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING Roy Lichtenstein was without doubt one of the most inspirational artists of the modern era, not just to other artists but to the public too, simply because of his unique style and his ability to create amazing storylines through his work. He was born and raised in Manhattan, New York and lived most of his life there. At one stage he lived in Cleveland but he returned to his hometown not long after. Lichtenstein was also one of the first artists to use the technique of Ben-Day dots. This is especially useful in prints because it could be created in an orderly way and it creates a sense of depth. This use of Ben-Day dots was one of the things that separated Lichtenstein from other Pop artists at the time.
