Roy Lichtenstein

"Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself."

"Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms."

"I'm not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I don't really want it to carry one. I'm not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way."

"I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it."

"I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me."
