Inspired by artwork influenced by everyday life, the guilty pleasure of melodrama permeates “Kiss V, 1964” by Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein. Fascinated by Americana, Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997)first depicted modern-style Old West scenes, before painting comic strips and cropped images from ads. Lichtenstein examined the contradictions of three dimensions represented on a flat surface through his varied works.
Important 20th century Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein’s work came directly from the pages of pulp fiction novels and comic books. Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997) originally taught at a university, drawing inspiration from artists who depicted everyday life. He first painted semi-abstract Old West scenes, before shifting to Americana. He later produced comic strip scenes printed with a process that replicated comic book-style dots. In other works, Lichtenstein explored the contradictions of three dimensions represented on flat surfaces.
This art print displays sharp, vivid images with a high degree of color accuracy. A member of the versatile family of art prints, this high-quality reproduction represents the best of both worlds: quality and affordability. Art prints are created on paper similar to that of a postcard or greeting card using an offset lithography press.
