Lichtenstein, Janis Hendrickson
This is an interesting, accessible introduction to Lichtenstein and his work. It doesn't suffer from translation problems as some other Taschen books I've read have, nor does it suffer from the awful metaphysical nonsense that the entry in this series about Turner does. I was a little disappointed to find that Lichtenstein's sculptural work is not given more than a couple of paragraphs, since they were a revelation in the exhibition I saw at Tate Liverpool that inspired this purchase. On the other hand, I discovered that his paintings were more diverse than I had realised previously.
