This is a review on the pop-art artist Roy Lichtenstein. The review starts out by saying that Roy Lichtenstein is one of the first people to have a massive exhibit while he is still alive, and one would think that his art would be amazing because of this (one critic in particular does not like his work and calls it dumb and awkward.) The author of this review goes on to tell us a little bit about Lichtenstein's life, his style and his artwork. She then talks about the art that Roy Lichtenstein creates, "it would seem quite dull if it were not for the jazzy images he has appropriated from a wide range of twentieth-century sources in both high and low art." This article is a good starting point about getting to know the artist and how his art is viewed.

Eggener, Keith L. "'An Amusing Lack of Logic': Surrealism and Popular Entertainment." American Art. 7.4 (1993): 30-45. The University of Chicago Press on behalf of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Web. 10 Nov. 2010. This article talks about how Surrealism impacted American Art starting in the 1930s. Socialites across America were introduced to this movement by going to Surrealist Costume Balls and flipping through fashion magazines that contained this new form of art. Salvador Dali's "Dream of Venus" captured the attention of many and soon people were craving a desire to dream like him. Many do not realize that this movement was first accessible to and received by Americans. Surrealism actually evolved from trendsetters in fashion and entertainment within America and Europe. "The earliest examples of genuine Surrealist art to be seen in America were probably those included in Katherine Dreier's Sociata Anonyme exhibition of modern European and American art." Most information that Americans had about Surrealism came from printed articles in newspapers or magazines. Many surrealist authors related their work to the illusionary branch of Salvador Dali's work. He was by far the most influential person in this movement. Surrealism was not meant to be a type of revolution, but new insight or beginning for art.
