The selvage of the pane of 20 pictures a photograph of Lichtenstein taken by Bob Adelman along with an image of Lichtenstein’s 1983 sculpture “Brushtrokes in Flight.”

Lichtenstein was a draftsman and artist for the Army during World War II, earned a master’s degree, and taught for 15 years. His first pop art piece was Look Mickey (1961), reportedly inspired by a challenge from his sons. He continued to find inspiration in commercial products, advertisements, and most notably, comic books. Lichtenstein was drawn to powerful, emotional images of love and war. His work explored the cold, mechanical process used to convey such intense subjects. Lichtenstein recreated these printed materials in paint, making subtle, but important changes in color, size, context, and more. His works used thick, dark outlines, vibrant colors, graphic shapes, and small Ben-Day dots – evenly spaced dots used in printing to create large areas of solid color.
