Roy Lichtenstein was born to a middle class German-Jewish family in New York City. did cartoon inspired paintings that helped launch the Pop Art movement. He developed a new visual language in an avant-garde style that was disruptive to viewers and yet was accessible and popular with them. 

In 1943 his education was interrupted by three years of army service, during which he drew up maps for planned troop movements across Germany during World War II. Lichtenstein received his MFA degree from Ohio State in 1949 and then began a period of working in (semi) Abstract Expressionism—the predominant art movement of the time.

He had a landmark exhibition in 1962 at the Castelli Gallery that showed enlarged depictions of advertisements and comic strip images. It was gallery owner Leo Castelli who, as a major promoter of the contemporary art scene, was a key person in launching his career.

Throughout his career, he appeared in many documentary films and did posters for entertainments including Bill Clinton's United States presidential campaign. Lichtenstein's murals are in Dusseldorf, Germany; Tel Aviv, Israel; and New York City.
