Lichtenstein strips away the visible brushstroke, replacing the artist's hand with the cold, calculated language of mass production. Texture is achieved through a deliberate, systematic application of Ben-Day dots. He did not merely participate in the Pop Art movement; he helped originate it, establishing a visual vocabulary that remains a primary reference point for how we consume images in a media-saturated age.

Ričard Hamilton, rođen u Pimliku, Londonu 1922. godine, izrastao je iz radničke porodice sa urođenom umjetničkom osjećajnošću.

Džejms Rozenkvist, rođen 1933. godine u Grand Forksu, Severna Dakota, izrastao je u jednu od ključnih figura američke umetnosti, iako se često opirao lakoj kategorizaciji. Stipendija za Minneapolis School of Art tokom srednje škole obezbedila mu je početnu formalnu obuku, praćenu studijama na Univerzitetu Minnesote od 1952. do 1954. Međutim, preseljenje u Njujork 1955. godine zahvaljujući stipendiji Art Students League-a zaista je pokrenulo njegov umetnički put.

Ser Eduardo Luigi Paolozzi, rođen 1924. godine u porto deltu Leith u Edinburgu, bio je figura koja je neopovratno izmenila pejzaž posleratne umetnosti.

Tom Veselman, rođen u Sinsinatiju, Ohajo, 1931. godine i preminuo 2004., zauzima ključno mesto na živopisnoj sceni pop-arta. Njegov put nije započeo sa neposrednim pozivom umetnosti, već studijama psihologije na Univerzitetu u Sinsinatiju nakon kratkog boravka na Hiram koledžu. Boravak u vojsci od 1952. do 1954. godine pružio je neočekivani kreativni izlaz kroz crtanje karikatura – veštinu koja je usavršila njegove sposobnosti posmatranja i osećaj vizualne naracije.

Self’s artistic journey began at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1961 to 1963, where he received encouragement for his drawings and collages. Crucially, visits to the United States and Canada in 1962 and 1965 proved transformative. The ‘Odyssey/Iliad’ series of etchings, completed in the late 1990s, saw him return to his earlier technique of multiple-plate etching, retelling Homer's epic poem with a distinctly contemporary sensibility.

Brazilian Born in São Paulo Neo-figuration Wikipedia in 2/32 languages
Claudio José Tozzi, born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1944, emerged as a pivotal figure in Brazilian art during a period of intense political and social upheaval.

His work has been featured in significant exhibitions such as Brazil + 500 Rediscovery Show (2000) and Ship of Fools (2005) at the Museum of Contemporary Art of the University of São Paulo (MAC/USP).
