Spray 1962

"Spray" (1962) by Roy Lichtenstein is a prime example of Pop Art, a movement that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. Lichtenstein is known for his bold use of color, Ben-Day dots, and simplified imagery, referencing mass media and consumer culture. The artwork depicts a hand holding a spray can, with the spray emanating in a series of bold, straight lines against a vibrant yellow background. The work's bright colors and graphic simplicity make it instantly recognizable and appealing to a broad audience.
