Roy Lichtenstein — Painting in Gold Frame, from Paintings Series
Roy Lichtenstein

Painting in Gold Frame, from Paintings Series

A bold synthesis of Lichtenstein's signature Pop Art vocabulary, this print depicts a canvas-within-a-canvas framed in an ornate golden border, playfully questioning the nature of art and representation. The work combines woodcut, lithograph, and screenprint techniques alongside collage to replicate the visual language of brushstrokes and texture, rendered with the flat, graphic precision that defined his style. Part of his celebrated Paintings Series, Lichtenstein turns the very act of painting into a subject for ironic yet affectionate scrutiny.

Medium
Woodcut, lithograph and screenprint in colors with collage, on Arches 88 paper, with full margins,
