Whaam! was made in 1963, and its mood is reflective of the Pop generation. The enormous, dripping brushstrokes, its enormous size (almost 14 feet), and its use of images in the comics of World War II fights make it iconic of the Pop era -- and quite a famous painting!

∙ 11y agoHe began by making a sketch of the scene, in much the same way as, for example, John Constable would sketch a piece of Suffolk landscape for later elaboration into a full-size painting. In the sketch Lichtenstein adjusts and strengthens the original composition, making both omissions and additions, and devises a colour scheme using the simple primaries of comic art but bearing no necessary relation to the original. The drawing is traced onto the canvas using a projector.
