Season 6 is covering the artists in this year's Arts Madness Tournament. I will be releasing 64 mini episodes in 64 days to give you a quick refresher on all the different artists and artworks in the tournament.
By the 1960s Roy Lichtenstein was intrigued by the ideas of pop art and began dabbling in the style. Of course, if you want fresh new ideas, the best source is often the younger generation. Roy Lichtenstein was pushed by his young son. One day in 1961, the younger Lichtenstein taunted his father holding up his copy of the Disney book Donald Duck: Lost and Found. He pointed to an illustration and said, “I bet you can’t draw something as good as that?” In what can only be described as one of the greatest “so there’s” of all time Roy Lichtenstein made a direct copy of the illustration painting onto a canvas four feet tall and almost six feet wide. In doing so, he was not only successful in sticking it to his son, Roy Lichtenstein became a tremendous success in the art world.
