His work defined the basic premise of pop art better than any other throughparody.[2] Favoring the comic strip as his main inspiration, Lichtenstein produced hard-edged, precise compositions that documented while it parodied often in a tongue-in-cheek humorous manner. His work was heavily influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book style. He described pop art as, “not ‘American’ painting but actually industrial painting”.[3] His paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City.
