Explosion I 1965

"Explosion I" is a 1965 work by the American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. This work is a striking example of Lichtenstein’s signature style, which takes inspiration from comic book imagery. The bold outlines, bright colors, and Ben-Day dots are reminiscent of comic book explosions, creating a dynamic and energetic composition. This piece, currently housed at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany, is a highly recognized example of Pop art and is often cited as an important piece in Lichtenstein’s career.
