An Artist
I honestly had trouble about connecting a real artist with one of my groupings, but I've decided that the closest thing I can compare it to would be the Pop Art movement of the 1950's. More specifically, Roy lichtenstein. Lichtenstein is an American Pop Artist who was born on October 27, 1923 and died on September 29th, 1997. The work he did was heavily influenced by the style of comic books and popular advertising, similar to Andy Warhol's work with Campbell's soup cans. Though he wasn't the biggest name in Pop Art, him and Warhol's works were both used in U2's PopMart Tour in 1997, which brought a new generation of people to his own brand of Pop Art.
