The author tells us the following about the rebellious aspects of Lichtenstein’s work at the end of P2: “Lichtenstein's work was part of a general rebellion against the fading emotional power of abstract expressionism, rather than an aloof attempt to ignore it.” In P3, the author also tells us that Lichtenstein’s work was “intended as a response to the excess of sophistication he observed not only in the later abstract expressionists but in some other pop artists.”
