Roy Lichtenstein
144.2 x 199.4 cm
Roy Lichtenstein takes a modernist perspective of the picture plane by utilising a method of commercial design through comic strips and advertisement. He integrates the readymade quality of screen prints and integrates a painterly gesture with the use of thick lines, flat surface planes, and obscured perspective.
Unlike with most print series, the prints of the Interior Series by Roy Lichtenstein preceded, rather than followed, the paintings of similar subjects. Roy Lichtenstein’s Interiors are based on advertisements, most of which Roy Lichtenstein cut from the Yellow Pages.
