Hoyt L. Sherman

Hoyt L. Sherman (1903-1981) was an American artist and professor. He is widely credited with having a serious influence on the work of Roy Lichtenstein, who was a student of his during the forties.Fact|date=April 2007

Hoyt Leon Sherman was born in Lafayette, Alabama.

As a professor in Fine Arts at Ohio State University, he employed the "flash room", a darkened room where images would be briefly flashed onto the screen. The student was supposed to draw what they had seen. This method of grasping an image by copying it would later be cited by Lichtenstein as having had an influence on his work. Hoyt Sherman was also known for his work with optics in the field of visual art, developing a theory similar to Hans Hoffman's "Push and Pull."

Hoyt Sherman had other notable students including e.l. sauselen and Larry Shineman, both went on to also teach at Ohio State University in the Fine Arts.

His research and methods were also utilized during the Second World War by the United States Navy and Army Air Corps as a means of teaching pilots and gunners to quickly identify aircraft as friendly or enemy.

In 1963 he received the Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching from Ohio State University. A building in his name, The Hoyt L. Sherman Studio Art Center, was endowed Roy Lichenstein in the 1990s.
