One of the founders of pop art, Roy Lichtenstein is best known for largescale renditions of comic-strip art, and for fusing comicbook techniques with 'high art' in his appropriations of such artists as Picasso and Mondrian. His distinctive look - filled with brilliant colour, dots and stripes - is one of the most identifiable in all contemporary art. Here Lichtenstein's unique style celebrates the ABC, with results that are surprising, delightful and amusing. D is for a comically vicious growling Dog. H is a Horse that races by in dizzying blaze of dots and stripes. And A is for ART, Lichtenstein's first pop comic masterpiece, Look Mickey, now in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.

The founder of pop art, Roy Lichtenstein, celebrates the ABC in his own unique style
