Sunrise 1965

"Sunrise" is a 1965 oil on canvas painting by American Pop Art artist Roy Lichtenstein. The work is a prime example of Lichtenstein's signature style, employing bold lines, vibrant colors, and Ben-Day dots to depict a stylized, cartoon-like sunrise over a landscape. The use of Ben-Day dots, a printing technique popularized in comic books, not only adds a distinctive visual texture to the painting but also underscores Lichtenstein's interest in popular culture and its influence on art. This iconic work reflects the essence of Pop Art by elevating everyday imagery to a fine art context, engaging viewers with its playful yet sophisticated visual language.
