Lichtenstein Posters, is a beautifully produced book, which is essential reading for anyone interested in Pop Art and the works of Roy Lichtenstein. In all, Lichtenstein designed 70 posters, which gives an insight into one of the 20th century鈥檚 greatest artists, and innovators of one of the most powerful artistic movements.
The posters included in this collection trace his artistic development from the 1960s to the 1990s. Lichtenstein placed great emphasis on America鈥檚 consumerist society. He transcended American culture and brought new ideas to light. His work captured the essence of a fragmented society increasingly becoming more and more self-conscious.
Written by J眉rgen D枚ring, this book is a must for learning about Lichtenstein鈥檚 work and his life. It also provides an opportunity to view the posters together side by side, as well as an in depth biography of the artist. D枚ring is Head of Department at Museum f眉r Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, which brings a fresh critical approach to Lichtenstein鈥檚 life and works.
