Why is a painting of a trash can hanging in a museum? Roy Lichtenstein's Pop Art sensibilities help explain. In this video, David Benkof shows how through incisive analysis a viewer can figure out why there's a painting of a trashcan, why it's a step-on can, why there are two of them, and why there are flowers on them.
