About the Item

Artist: lichtenstein, Roy Title: Chem 1A Date: 1970 Medium: Screenprint Unframed Dimensions: 30" x 20.3" Framed Dimensions: 36.75" x 26.875" Signature: Pencil signed Edition: 10/100 Literature: Corlett 100 Publisher: Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles Roy Fox Lichtenstein was born on October 27, 1923, in New York City. As a boy growing up on Manhattan's Upper West Side, Lichtenstein had a passion for both science and comic books. In his teens, he became interested in art. Lichtenstein began experimenting with different subjects and methods in the early 1960s, while he was teaching at Rutgers University. Instead of painting abstract, often subject-less canvases as Pollock and others of his time had done, Lichtenstein took his imagery directly from comic books and advertising. Lichtenstein became known for his deadpan humor and his slyly subversive way of building a signature body of work from mass-reproduced images. By the mid-1960s, he was nationally known and recognized as a leader in the Pop Art movement that also included Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist and Claes Oldenburg. By the late 1960s, Lichtenstein had stopped using comic book sources. In the 1970s his focus turned to creating paintings that referred to the art of early 20th century masters like Picasso, Henri Matisse, Fernand Léger and Salvador Dalí. In the 1980s and '90s, he also painted representations of modern house interiors, brushstrokes and mirror reflections, all in his trademark, cartoon-like style. He also began working in sculpture. Lichtenstein was committed to his art until the end of his life, often spending at least 10 hours a day in his studio. His work was acquired by major museum collections around the world, and he received numerous honorary degrees and awards, including the National Medal of Arts in 1995.
