Artist Brian Jungen says that one of the best ways to get people to look at artwork is to create it out of materials that they recognize.

Name: Roy Lichtenstein
Examples -
1. Whaam!
This piece is based upon an image from “All American Men of War.” It was presented as an acrylic and oil piece on a canvas back. This image is attracted by the high emotional subject matter through war. In 'Whaam!', he adapted and developed the original composition to produce an intensely stylized painting.
2. Forms in Space
Can be seen as a political or social 'critique' upon 80's america. The representation of the flag is purposefully imperfect and is placed close together for a contrasting effect. Instead of the normal horizontal red lines, Liechtenstein drew backward diagonal lines, these lines are ragged and not straight. Instead of stars we have circles that bleed out of their own space, due to the iconic nature and political significance of this piece.
3. Composition I
This print is a beautiful example of Liechtenstein's musical imagery series. The series was executed for charitable causes, composition I has a specific nature flow and many consider this to be the most aesthetically arranged print. Liechtenstein also combined a hint of his previous technique of light, depth and shadow by use of his trademark diagonal lines and blue dots, this helps to give the work an extra dimension.
about the artist
Roy’s worked with paintings and modified actual comic stripes, and advertisements. His work procedure is where he would lay the comic stripe of advertisement in an enlarger and unification of source material. His works purpose was either to tell a story to sell a consumer product, he wanted to freeze the emotions in the action. Lichtenstein could present powerfully charged scenes in an impersonal manner, leaving the viewer to figure out meanings for themselves. Although he was careful to retain the character of his source, Lichtenstein also explored the formal qualities of commercial imagery and techniques.
