Roy Lichtenstein represents people and objects of everyday life by transforming them into art, extrapolating a scene from its original context and giving it a completely renewed meaning, also with the inclusion of texts and onomatopoeias, in addition to the distinctive dotted effect created using the Ben-Day dots technique. This is the foundation of American Pop Art itself, whose artists are inspired by subjects of mass culture and everyday objects, isolating them from their natural environment to transform them into the new symbols of the consumerist society devoted to excess: the same objects they were already deeply imprinted in the collective imagination, thanks to the pressing publicity that invaded the communications of the main mass media.
