Inspiration

US artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997) remains best known for his series of War and Romance paintings, made between 1961 and 1966, using images derived from DC comics of the time. Though he then dropped this comic-book subject matter, it is well known that he continued to use three stylistic mainstays which he developed during those years, derived directly from the art and printing techniques of the comics: the limited, mainly primary, colour palette; the black outlines; the “Ben Day” dots which the comics used for gradations of colour. In other words, it can be said that he owed his entire – very lucrative – career to the comic-book art which he copied in those early years.
