The Centre Pompidou’s retrospective showcases Roy Lichtenstein (1927-1997), tracing his evolution from pop art’s comic-inspired works like Whaam! to postmodern and classical explorations. His meticulous style, mimicking industrial printing, distills subjects to their essence. From 1960s consumer culture to later nudes and landscapes, Lichtenstein reinterprets art history, engaging with Cézanne and Picasso. The exhibit highlights his sculptures, prints, and nuanced approach, cementing his legacy as a versatile, classical artist.
