Whaam! The Art & Life of Roy Lichtenstein by Susan Goldman Rubin

Fantastic picture book biography of Roy Lichtenstein. The book begins with the two possible stories that led to his immersion in the pop art movement. It contains great biographical information interspersed with a large number and variety of Lichtenstein's work that spans his career. There are also works (identified) done by a number of other famous artists of the time. It explains his technique and how it developed over time and shows how his work grew and changed over his life. The book contains a glossary of art terms and names. There is also a very complete notes section, references a list of museums and other public places to find Lichtenstein's work and an index. This may appeal to some of the same lovable dweebs that like the Creators of Superman. Great for upper elementary art lovers and on through ms and hs. It would be a great resource for art teachers.
