Roy Lichtenstein

Cubist Cello

This screenprint in colors on Somerset paper explores the intersection of Cubism and popular culture through the image of a cello rendered in Lichtenstein's unmistakable style. The work pays homage to early twentieth century Cubist masters while filtering their innovations through the lens of American Pop Art. Bold outlines, flat planes of color, and fragmented perspectives define the visual language of the composition. Full margins surround the image, preserving the integrity of the print and highlighting the precision of the screenprinting process.
