"The American painter Roy Lichtenstein (born 1923) was one of the leading exponents of Pop Art in the 1950s and 1960s.  Pop Art took the products of the entertainment business and consumer society into the realms of art, and by elevating everyday, banal objects implied a critique of traditional elitist approaches to art.
Lichenstein has devoted particular attention to a vexed question: What is it that makes a picture a work of art?"
