"I want...[my paintings] to look as though I never corrected anything and it just came out that way. But I go through all sorts of contortions to make it look that way."
- Roy Lichtenstein
Lichtenstein in Process offers an intimate look into Pop Art icon Roy Lichtenstein’s artistic practice.
Berthe and André Noufflard were art students in Paris at La Grande Chaumière under Lucien Simon, when they met in 1910. They married the following year and until André’s death in 1968, their lives together were dedicated to art, beauty and raising their two daughters, Geneviève and Henriette.
