Annotated Bibliography

Cavallaro, Dani. Art for Beginners. New York: Writers and Readers Publishing, Inc., 2000.

Here they describe the basics of art, and what is used for it. I got some nice information with this source. I found out what Lichtenstein uses to create his work, along with being able to view some paintings from other artists who use the same style as Lichtenstein for their work.


CoppleStone, Trewin. Art in Society – A Guide to the Visual Arts. New Jersey: Prentice Hall Inc., 1983.

This source focused on how art is important, and the different styles of art. I found much information from this source. I found out what Lichtenstein focuses his art work on and how it is important. I also discovered how critics view his work.


Frazier, Nancy. The Penguin Concise Dictionary of Art History. New York: Penguin Reference, 2000.

This was more of a useless source for me. I found only a small piece of information. It was a dictionary of art, and basically gave me the answer to where Lichtenstein adopted his work. In the end, this actually could turn out too help me.


Gebhardt, Volker. The History of Art – An Illustrated Historical Overview. New York: Barron’s, 1997.

This source was an overall view of art throughout many years. I didn’t really find much information here, but I found a piece of artwork from my artist to focus on during my research.

Hartt, Frederick. Art – A History of Painting · Sculpture · Architecture. Vol. 2. New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc, 1976. 2 Vols.

Here I found out about the history of my artist and his unique style of painting. It told me how he came about his work, and I also found another piece of work by my artist to focus on. This source was a good piece of information.





Janson, Anthony F. and Janson, H.W. History of Art. 5th ed. New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc. Publishers, 1997.

This was a great source that could be used for any type of art. It focuses on all art types, and I found some great information for my artist. This includes an interview with my artist, a couple paintings from my artist, and some information about how he uses his art and how it inspires him.

Kleiner, Fred S. and Tansey, Richard G. Gardner’s Art Through The Ages. 10th ed. New York: Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1996.

This source focuses on how Gardner believes art has changed throughout the years. I found some good information on my artist in this source and he was mentioned as a unique artist of his time.

This is a great source I found information about my artist from a website of my artist. Basically all I need to know I can get from this website.

Lucie-Smith, Edward. Lives of the Great 20th Century Artists. September 1991.
http://www.artchive.com/artchive/L/lichtenstein.html

Here I found some great information about the life of my artist. It was an article from a biography of Roy Lichtenstein that I found from a website. This should really help me in writing my biography of my artist.

Napoliello, Michael Jr. 101 Things I Don’t Know About Art. Newport Beach, CA: Literary Press, 2004.

This was another source that focused on the basics of art. I learned from it, but found barely any information about my artist. One thing I found was a nice piece of work by my artist that I can use for evaluation.

Wilkins. David G and Zaczek, Iain. The Collins Big Book of Art – From Cave Art to Pop Art. New York: Harper Collins Publishers, 2005.

This source gave me some good information about my artist, because it focused on pop art, which is the main focus of my artist. In this source, I found out that Lichtenstein believes it is hard to find anyone who doesn’t appreciate his work.
