Forget it! Forget me! 1962

Roy Lichtenstein's "Forget it! Forget me!" (1962) is a prime example of Pop Art, a movement that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s that embraced mass culture and consumerism. The painting is a large-scale, bold graphic rendition of a comic book panel, featuring a stylized woman with exaggerated features and a speech bubble containing her dramatic statement. The use of bright, contrasting colors and Ben-Day dots, a printing technique commonly used in comic books, further emphasizes the work's pop culture inspiration. "Forget it! Forget me!" exemplifies Lichtenstein's signature style and continues to be a popular piece in the Pop Art canon.
