Roy Lichtenstein

Reflections on Crash, from Reflections Series

A vibrant and dynamic print by Roy Lichtenstein, *Reflections on Crash* revisits his iconic comic-book aesthetic through bold Ben-Day dots, thick black outlines, and dramatic primary colors depicting a scene of explosive action. The work incorporates a signature reflective element — strips of metallized PVC that simulate the appearance of glass or a mirror cutting across the composition — a hallmark device of his celebrated Reflections Series. Through the combination of lithography, screenprint, relief, and collage, Lichtenstein masterfully blurs the boundaries between high art and mass-produced imagery, elevating the visual language of pop culture with technical sophistication and wit.

Medium
Lithograph, screenprint, relief and metallized PVC collage with embossing in colors, on Somerset paper, with full margins.
