I don't know why you'd want to say your work comes from nature, because art is related to perception, not nature. All abstract artists try to tell you that what they do comes from nature, and I'm always trying to tell you that what I do is completely abstract. We're both saying something we want to be true.

More Quotes by Roy Lichtenstein

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

The importance of art is in the process of doing it, in the learning experience where the artist interacts with whatever is being made.

My work isn't about form. It's about seeing.

I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.
