Roy Lichtenstein has been one of the most innovative painters of
the late twentiety century. He has tried a multitude of forms
and while none could be considered beautiful many were visually
interesting and intellectually provocative. He was born in 1923
and taught himself to draw and paint while in high school. He
received some formal training in art in a summer program and
then entered Ohio State University in 1940 in the fine arts
program. He was drafted into the army in 1943 at age of twenty
and served until 1946. He re-entered Ohio State in 1946 and
completed his bachelor's degree in fine arts that year and went
to complete a master's degree in fine arts there in 1949. In the
1950's he taught at the State University of New York at Oswego
and later at Rutgers University in New Jersey. In 1961 he began
