Roy was born in New York. He studied at the Art Students' League, New York, and at Ohio State University, Columbus. He taught at Ohio State University, New York State University, Oswego and Rutgers University. He did his military service in Europe. He had his first one-man exhibition in 1951 and worked as a commercial artist until 1957. He painted parodies of American twenties' art such as Remington's cowboy-and-Indian scenes. He used elements of commercial art, comics and advertisements in his drawings and painting. He produced large format paintings for the New York State Pavilion at the World's Fair in New York. He was represented at the Venice Biennale in 1966, 1968 and 1970 and in 1967-68 he had a retrospective at the Pasadena Art Museum. | ||||||||||||
