Jack Cowart, executive director of The Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, said the retrospective exposes the intricacy of Lichtenstein's art. "This is all about a career that is much more complex than people would have thought previously," Cowart said. Lichtenstein's widow, Dorothy Lichtenstein, previewed the exhibit, saying that even she hadn't seen some of the works since the 1960s. She said she wants the show to give people a broader appreciation for her late husband's work. "I hope people come away realizing that he did more than some cartoon frames," Lichtenstein said. ___ If you go ...
