Nel frattempo, nella vita di Roy Lichtenstein
Tutta la vita1943–1946
Army service in the Second World War years
His studies in Ohio were interrupted by a three-year stint in the Army between 1943 and 1946. The language, engineering and pilot training programmes he was placed in were each cancelled, and he ended up serving as an orderly, draftsman and artist.
1946
Discharge and return to his studies
Lichtenstein went home to visit his dying father and was discharged from the Army with eligibility for the G.I. Bill. He returned to his studies in Ohio under Hoyt L. Sherman, who is widely regarded as a significant influence on his later work.
1949
Master’s degree and teaching in Ohio
Lichtenstein entered the graduate programme at Ohio State University and was hired as an art instructor, a post he held on and off for about ten years; in 1949 he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree.
