  Roy Lichtenstein - MSN Encarta
Along with fellow American artist Andy Warhol, Lichtenstein was one of the central figures of the American pop art movement in the 1960s, which celebrated popular, commercial images.
In his ceramic and painted bronze sculptures, Lichtenstein used the same flattening, two-dimensional devices of his paintings to depict subjects ranging from explosions to goldfish bowls, cups with steam rising from them, and brushstrokes floating in the air.
Lichtenstein’s first solo show of comic-strip paintings, at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City in 1962, was one of the first pop art exhibitions and created an art world sensation.

 The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Special Exhibitions: Roy Lichtenstein on the Roof
Also, with the reverse curve of her single supporting leg, counterbalanced by her off-center belly, Lichtenstein hints that Galatea is standing in a posture of contrapposto, a pose in which one part of the body is twisted in the opposite direction from the other part.
In Lichtenstein's Brushstroke Nude (1993) contrapposto is exaggerated to the point that the female figure—red and white on one side, blue and white on the other, mirror-image side—has the appearance of a fashion model twisting to show her outfit as she minces down the runway.
Endless Drip revives a characteristic of certain Lichtenstein sculptures of the late 1970s, in which the materialization of something evanescent, such as bronze steam rising from a sculptural coffee cup or bronze light beams cast by an overhead sculptural lamp, is conspicuous.

 TASCHEN Books: Lichtenstein
Wholly in keeping with the spirit of the Classical Modern, he held that it was not the "rank" of the picture's subject that lends the picture its artistic character, but rather the artist's formal treatment of it.
Developed in the early 60s, Lichtenstein's grid technique, with its allusion to the mass-production of graphic art, allowed the painter to give vent to his own artistic scepticism.
In the 60s and 70s, Lichtenstein expanded his formal repertoire of techniques for creating distance and irony by means of an idiosyncratic process of abstraction and especially by his use of his numerous art quotations.

The indication of mother-of-pearl in Lichtenstein's description points towards the Trochidae or Turbinidae; these two families are particularly distinguished by the corneous (Trochidae) or calcareous (Turbinidae) operculum of which there is no mention in Lichtenstein's description.
Lunatia is a genus in the Naticidae, which was included by Lichtenstein (1794) in the genus Nerita, with the exception of modern species in Sinum, that were classified under Patella.

 MAM - Collection - Contemporary Art - Roy Lichtenstein
Crying Girl was one of Roy Lichtenstein’s first ventures into producing enamel-on-steel multiples of the comic-strip imagery he had first introduced in conventional hand-painted canvases.
With other leading American Pop artists, Lichtenstein turned to popular culture and the worlds of commerce and advertising for attitudes and approaches as well as for content.
Eliminating any trace of the individual artist’s hand in favor of reinforcing the notion of its mechanical origin, here Lichtenstein emphasized in rigid fl outlines and the benday dots of printing the primacy of the image itself – a sentimental, glamorized and equally “mechanical” idealization of the American girl.

 lichtenstein
Roy Lichtenstein was not generally thought of as a ceramist; yet, in 1954–65, he created an extraordinary body of work—26 ceramic sculptures—exhibited as a discrete group only twice: at Leo Castelli Gallery, New York in 1963, and at the University Art Museum (UAM) in 1977.
Lichtenstein constantly subjected his images and motifs to reexamination and renewal.
Thus, the crockery forms of 1964–65 were recreated in the Cubist Still Lifes of 1972, and were seen again in an entirely new guise in his freestanding bronzes of 1976.

 Lichtenstein the Critic
Due to the vast assortment of prints, one is able to take in a good dose of Lichtenstein the cultural commentator, who offers satirical critiques of the contemporary culture from within the culture itself; who, at the same time, takes full advantage of that very culture in order to establish himself in the arts community.
For example, in what is likely Lichtenstein’s most famous print WHAAM!, as well as This Must be the Place, and Crying Girl, Lichtenstein ably captures the daunting mixture of a sense of post-war disillusionment and 50s era idealizations that was present in society.
Oftentimes appearing pretentious, otherwise commonplace, the air of easiness which runs about Lichtenstein’s prints reflects their largely unassuming nature, in that they are able to say so much with so little.
