Roy Lichtenstein's art didn't look like what people in the art world expected art to look like. Which was the point. Or part of it. He wanted us to take a closer look at the mass market, pop culture stuff that we all consume all the time and are also being consumed by. He turned pictures--from bubble gum wrappers, scenes from romance and adventure comic books, and even ads--into art. He painted with bold outlines and colors to make his art look like the mechanical printing techniques that newspapers and comics use. (He even found a way to make the machinelike colored dots you see in newsprint.) This "house" is a fold-out optical illusion, like a movie set. There is no inside!
