Modern Painting with Bolt 1967

"Modern Painting with Bolt" (1967) by Roy Lichtenstein is a prime example of Pop Art, a movement that emerged in the 1960s. Lichtenstein's signature style, characterized by bold, graphic lines and Ben-Day dots, is evident in this work. The composition features a dynamic interplay of bright colors like red, yellow, and blue, juxtaposed with the iconic image of a lightning bolt. This style reflects the influence of commercial art and popular culture, which Lichtenstein often incorporated into his works. The seemingly simple yet powerful composition is a testament to Lichtenstein's ability to elevate everyday imagery to a new level of artistic expression.
