Este artista se dedicó a la pintura, especialmente al pop art. Especialmente su obra se vió influenciada por esta corriente cuando comenzó sus estudias en el Royal College of Art, donde se interes´o más por el pop art británico, especialmente con una fijación por David Hockney. Los temas que más trabajó fueron el océano, la crítica al mundo del arte y el retrato. Son obras llenas de color y con cierto toque desagradable o perturbador.

R.B. Kitaj, For love (Creeley),1966, Screenprint on light orange paper, from an edition of 70, from the First series: Some poets portfolio,1966–69.

A great many words have been written about the late American painter R.B. Kitaj, his literary and artistic obsessions and especially about the overriding questions of his sense of identity, which defines so much of his art. Through portraiture Kitaj celebrated his friendships with poets and philosophers and the connections he felt with artists of the past. Among his more complex compositions, his reflections on political, social, sexual and artistic themes provide insight into his innermost concerns. .
