Lichtenstein Vandal

Lichtenstein

Nike Vandal Premium "Pop Art: Roy Lichtenstein"
Men's Vandal High Premium "Pop Art Pack: Roy Lichtenstein" ($98)

Roy Lichtenstein is one of my favorite American Pop Artists. A few years ago I had the chance to view his work, along with many other pop artists (Warhol, Dine, etc) at a Pop Art exhibition held at the SAM. He also has a few pieces in the SAM's permanent Modern and Contemporary Art Collection. Today, pop art’s continuing relevance is demonstrated by the likes of Murakami and Nara, who have reinvigorated the genre.

This Premium Vandal features the benday dots and comic like illustrations on the upper that Lichtenstein used throughout his work.
