Apples, Grapes, Grapefruit 1974

Roy Lichtenstein’s 1974 painting "Apples, Grapes, Grapefruit" is a bold and vibrant example of his signature Pop Art style. The artwork features a close-up view of fruit, rendered in a simplified and graphic manner, characteristic of Lichtenstein’s approach. The use of bold colors, thick outlines, and Ben-Day dots, a printing technique that mimics the look of comic book art, creates a striking visual impact. The composition, featuring a bright blue and white striped background, further enhances the sense of graphic immediacy and playful abstraction.
