Washing machine 1961

Roy Lichtenstein's *Washing Machine* (1961) is a Pop Art painting that exemplifies the artist's signature style. Lichtenstein's works often feature bold outlines, bright colors, and Ben-Day dots, a printing technique that mimics comic book imagery. *Washing Machine* depicts a simple domestic scene of a hand pouring laundry detergent into a washing machine, borrowing from the visual language of advertisements and comic strips to elevate everyday objects to the status of fine art.
