In the car 1963

"In the Car" is a 1963 painting by Roy Lichtenstein, a leading figure in Pop Art. The piece depicts a man and woman in a car, a scene seemingly lifted straight from a comic book. This is typical of Lichtenstein's work, which often draws inspiration from popular culture. The bold lines, flat colors, and Ben-Day dots are characteristic of Pop Art, a style that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s and explored themes of consumerism and mass media. The vibrant colors and simplified forms create a sense of dynamism and immediacy, capturing the fleeting moment of a drive through the city. "In the Car" is currently on display at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, UK.
