5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Introduction At A Great Price. 3 Nov 2003
This book is an excellent introduction to the life and work of Roy Lichtenstein. It is about half text and half colour illustrations. The text is accessible and easy for someone with a casual interest in art to follow. Readers interested in a detailed and rigorous academic analysis will prefer a more comprehensive book, but for people looking for an accessible introduction it can't be beaten, particularly given the low price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough early works 2 April 2004
By McG
Just personal taste - but not enough of the early comic strip inspired works - later on he seems to have gone in a 3D collage direction. A bit like Sotsass and the Memphis Design School from Italy. If that is your taste you will enjoy the book. If not look for something focussing on the earlier output in his career.

By Martin Turner HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

Taschen Basic Art Series is a well recommended collection of introductions to the art, life and philosophy of a very wide range of artists. This volume on Lichtenstein does not disappoint in terms of introduction, critical appreciation, biography and influences. It neatly explores the way in which Lichtenstein's pop art was inspired by (and sometimes apparently simply copied from) existing commercial and comic-book illustration.

It is a bit light on pictures, given how prolific Lichtenstein was, and is better as a personal education than as a book which is a pleasure to browse through. There are other books for that, though.

In terms of fulfilling its purpose this book does so admirably. My only niggle is that I'd just like to see more of the art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roy Lichtenstein by Taschen books 1 Dec 2010
By Mr. M. Sanders TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Amazon Verified Purchase
Roy Lichtenstein was one of the Pop Art pioneers and his work is instantly recognisable.

I was lucky to see his work 'in the canvas' at an exhibition in London really close up.

The book describes how Roy Lichtenstein came to arrive at his style of work and features quotes from people who were around him or his work.

There are many examples of Roy Lichtenstein's work in this book, worth having for that alone, but with it you get a lot of useful information on his techniques he used to make his pictures, such as using processes similar to the Benday process.

The iconic pop art pictures such as 'Whaaam' the aircraft in battle painting is reproduced here.

Certainly a good book to use to get to know the artists work.

This book was bought to aid with a secondary school art project and it was very useful. Lots of information, examples of Lichtenstein's work, and was easy to use and understand.
