Study for "Still Life with Cash Box" 1976

"Study for 'Still Life with Cash Box'" is a 1976 drawing by Roy Lichtenstein, notable for its bold lines and graphic sensibility. The composition features a cash box, a lamp, and a book on a table, rendered in a simplified style reminiscent of comic book art. Lichtenstein, a key figure in Pop Art, often used everyday objects and commercial imagery in his works, pushing the boundaries between high and low art. This study, smaller than the final painting, reveals the artist's meticulous process, showcasing his signature use of Ben-Day dots and bold lines.
