Red Lamp (C. 279)

"Red Lamp (C. 279)" is a colorful lithograph by Roy Lichtenstein that exemplifies the artist's characteristic appropriation of commercial and domestic imagery through the bold graphic language of Pop Art. Created using the traditional medium of lithography in multiple color layers on premium Rives BFK paper, the work translates everyday subject matter into a composition marked by crisp outlines, vibrant flat color fields, and the distinctive Ben Day dots that became Lichtenstein's visual signature. The print's full margins preserve the integrity of the artist's composition while showcasing the technical precision of the lithographic process.

Medium
Lithograph in colors, on Rives BFK paper, with full margins.
