Roy Lichtenstein Biography:
Lichtenstein grew up under no specific artistic influence, neither at home nor at school. But at the age of 14 he attended a painting class at Parson's School of Design every Saturday morning. From 1940 to 1943 he studied in New York at the Art Students League. Then he was drafted to the US Army and served in Europe during War II. Back from the army, Lichtenstein studied at the Ohio State University from 1946 and received his M.A. in 1949. Like Andy Warhol he worked in the commercial art, prints and posters business for a while, making designs and decorating shop windows. From 1957 on, he taught at different universities.
