In the late 50s and 60s, American painter Roy Lichtenstein became one of the most important exponents of Pop Art, that movement which transformed products of mass consumption and the entertainment industry into subjects for art. This apotheois of banal, everyday objects simultaneously constituted a criticism of the traditional elitist understanding of art. Almost alone among artists, Lichtenstein pursued the question of how an image becomes a work of art.
