This is an interview that was conducted between Mr. Roy Lichtenstein, and Mr. Michael Kimmelman. This is a good article to have because it gives actual quotes from Roy Lichtenstein. This article talks about how Lichtenstein really shocked the art world with his paintings. It talks about the different Eras that he had painted in. The 70's focusing on reinterpretations of famous paintings, and the 80's and 90's bringing in bright colors and new brush-strokes. The article holds a lot of nice lines from Lichtenstein that talk about how he feels his art is portrayed (I don't think storytelling has anything to do with modern painting or with my paintings at least.) The article will help to put an actual feel for who Roy Lichtenstein was in my paper.
