Roy Lichtenstein: Inside/Outside

This catalogue has been published for the exhibition Roy Lichtenstein: Inside/Outside. Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami and curated by Bonnie Clearwater.

In the early 1960s, several artists, working independent of one another, simultaneously began making paintings based on comic strips, commercial printing, and advertisements. The popular subject matter, commercial graphic design techniques and reference to mass production were dominant features of work by such artists as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist and Jim Dine, whom critics, curators and art dealers quickly grouped together as representing a new art movement. POP ART was the name British art critic Lawerence Alloway coined for this movement, and this short memorable name and the categorization of these artists as Pop artists stuck.
