Historical Description

Roy Lichtenstein’s, Water Lilies with Willows, 1992, transforms a peaceful garden scene into a sleek Pop Art composition through bold outlines, stylized curves, and refined graphic clarity. The sweeping willow branches and floating lily pads are reduced to clean rhythmic shapes that create a serene yet contemporary visual flow. Lichtenstein blends natural softness with modern structure, turning the classic motif into a polished and balanced design. Calm, elegant, and visually engaging, Water Lilies with Willows reflects his talent for reinterpreting nature through sophisticated contemporary art.

Created in 1992, this Lichtenstein pop art Lithograph in colors is hand-signed by Roy Lichtenstein (New York, 1923 – New York, 1997) in pencil: ‘rf Lichtenstein’.  Numbered from the edition of 23, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
