Truth be told, Roy Lichtenstein was born with the art of painting. He tried to venture into other activities in his early life, such as pop art, comic, and advertisement, but he was not satisfied with them. However, he transformed his career in the late 1960s when he stopped using comic-book sources and he focused completely on paintings. In fact, in the early 1970s, Roy Lichtenstein had been already busy creating outstanding paintings. His painting art was concerned with the art of early 20th century that featured masters like Henri Matisse, Picasso, and Salvador Dali. His newer career brought him more satisfaction, and in the year 1980s and 1990s, his paintings had advanced to higher levels and was creating amazing painted representations of modern brushstrokes, house interiors, and mirror reflections. All of the above paintings were designed in his trademark, mostly in cartoon-like style.

Due to his remarkable and hard work, he has received several awards and honorary degrees, the major one being the National Medal of Arts in 1995.'
