Desk calendar 1962

Roy Lichtenstein's "Desk Calendar" (1962) is a Pop Art painting that captures the mundane nature of everyday life. The artwork features a close-up view of a desk calendar with the date set to May 21st, 1962. The bold black lines and graphic style are reminiscent of comic book art, which was a major influence on Lichtenstein's work. The use of Ben-Day dots, a printing technique used in comic books, further enhances the artwork's pop-art aesthetic. "Desk Calendar" is housed at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, and is a quintessential example of Lichtenstein's work, highlighting his signature style and his fascination with the everyday.
