decorating shop windows.

Lichtenstein's first well known piece goes back to 1956, when he created
the famous Ten Dollar Bill print

Then followed a three year period of abstract painting. "Abstract expressionism" was the dominating art movement at that time. Lichtenstein was then in his late thirties and an unknown artist.

• The drastic change in Lichtenstein's career came with his first painting in the style of a comic strip.
• It was a painting of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, called “Hey Mickey”.
• The story goes, that he painted it for his kids who had provoked him by saying that "daddy could not paint as well as the images in the comic books".

Lichtenstein worked a lot with stencils, producing rows of oversized ben-day dots, that make his paintings look machine made.
He did not want his brush strokes to be seen. He used what he called “The Mechanical Hand”

He also made a series of still life paintings.
Using ben-day dots and stripes he made his still lives truly unique and Pop Art like.
