Pop goes the weasel

Both Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein are classified as "pop" artists, but their individual artworks are very different while both having the same playful colorings. Both artists recreate images that are from photographs or comic books or everyday objects. Roy Lichtenstein draws inspiration from comics, recreating them in full size paintings on canvas. He uses Benday Dots to recreate certain colors in the image as though it were a photographic reproduction. However, from far away it seems as though he uses flat color. Warhol often recreated everyday objects and photographs into paintings. He played with color, using a silk screen to reproduce the image onto canvas and then he painted over it with the color(s) that he wanted.
