Still Life with Windmill 1974

Roy Lichtenstein's "Still Life with Windmill" (1974) is a vibrant example of Pop Art, a movement that embraced imagery from popular culture. The bold lines and contrasting colors of the painting, reminiscent of comic book art, create a playful and accessible aesthetic. The scene features a still life arrangement of a pitcher, lemons, and a bottle, set against a backdrop of a window overlooking a windmill. The simplified forms and use of Ben-Day dots, a technique used in printing, add to the artwork's graphic sensibility and make it instantly recognizable as a Lichtenstein work.
