	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.

	Roy Lichtenstein
		Lichtenstein, the son of a wealthy middle-class family, was born in Manhattan.
		Lichtenstein was not interested in the sharp reflection of reality in a mirror, but with the reflection which seems to lift of the materiality of the reflected objects.
		Lichtenstein uses it as a mean to enlarge the space, but does not put in doubt the two-dimensional quality of the representation.

		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.

		Lichtenstein implies that Castelli was stocking Warhol's work prior to his own, whereas Carey's comments indicate the opposite - and Carey's comments are supported by the recollections of both Leo Castelli and Ivan Karp.
		He mentioned the similarity to Lichtenstein, but I think he was somewhat turned off by the mask, the rock-and-roll music, and the background of elaborate furnishings.
		I made several connections very quickly in terms of Roy's work, and I agreed at that very moment to have an exhibit on the West Coast, somewhere down the line, when it was comfortable for both Leo and Ivan to organize.
