Composition II 1996

"Composition II" (1996) by Roy Lichtenstein, a leading figure in Pop Art, uses bold lines and bright colors to create a dynamic composition of intersecting musical notes. Characteristic of Lichtenstein’s style, the work uses a graphic, almost cartoon-like aesthetic, drawing inspiration from popular culture and advertising. The use of Ben-Day dots, a printing technique commonly used in comic books, adds a distinctive texture to the piece, further emphasizing its playful and vibrant nature.
