Mirror #1 1969

"Mirror #1" (1969) by Roy Lichtenstein is a prime example of Pop Art, a movement that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. Lichtenstein is known for his bold use of color and his appropriation of popular imagery, and this work is no exception. The painting features a large, rectangular field of black and white Ben-Day dots, a printing technique that was used in comic books and newspapers. This work is a bold and striking example of Lichtenstein's iconic style.
