What this episode covers
Roy Lichtenstein was one of the most successful American artists of the 20th century, and the figure most associated with pop art after Andy Warhol. Lichtenstein is known for his comics images like “WHAAM!,” pictured below, and his techniques brought be nday dots and comic-book colors into the gallery.

This was a live talk at Rose City Comic Con with an accompanying presentation deck. Visual aides for this episode are here.
