The conversation between Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997) and Melinda Camber Porter (1953–2008) took place on December 18, 1983, when Roy Lichtenstein’s Greene Street Mural drew crowds to Leo Castelli’s landmark SoHo Greene Street Gallery in downtown New York. Roy Lichtenstein describes to Melinda Camber Porter the many influences on his art from the Renaissance painters to Japanese art in terms of his brush strokes, perspective, and styles.

Melinda Camber Porter passed away from ovarian cancer in 2008 and she left a significant body of work in art, journalism, and literature. The Melinda Camber Porter Archive provides for the continuation and expansion of the ideas expressed in the publication of her many books of art, journalism, and literature (www.MelindaCamberPorter.com).
