Roy Lichtenstein

Reflections on The Scream, from Reflections series

A bold reinterpretation of Edvard Munch's iconic expressionist masterpiece, this work by Roy Lichtenstein transforms the anguished figure into his signature comic-book aesthetic, rendered through the dynamic interplay of Ben-Day dots, bold black outlines, and flat primary colors. The print's multi-layered technique — combining lithograph, screenprint, woodcut, and metallic collage — creates a shimmering, reflective surface that appears to fragment the image as though seen through broken glass or a shattered mirror. True to his Reflections series, Lichtenstein challenges the boundaries between high art and popular culture, simultaneously paying homage to and subverting one of history's most recognizable works.

Medium
Lithograph, screenprint and woodcut in colors with metalized PVC collage and embossing, on Somerset paper, with full margins,
