Sleeping Girl 1964

Roy Lichtenstein's 1964 "Sleeping Girl" is a prime example of Pop Art, utilizing the bold graphic style of comic books to depict a young woman. The Ben-Day dots, a printing technique common in comic books, give the image a distinct visual texture and reproduce the look and feel of mass-produced images. Lichtenstein’s iconic use of color, simplified forms, and bold lines capture the aesthetic of American popular culture and make this piece a signature work of Pop Art.
