Roy Lichtenstein, Best Buddies, 1991, captures the warmth of friendship through his cool, stylized Pop aesthetic. Two figures stand side by side, outlined in thick black lines and filled with flat, vibrant colors that pulse with graphic vitality. The simplicity of the composition belies its emotional depth — their mirrored stance and shared expression convey loyalty, camaraderie, and human connection. Lichtenstein transforms a universal gesture of companionship into a visual icon, merging the personal and the symbolic. Both playful and sincere, Best Buddies celebrates the enduring bond between individuals while reflecting on how even intimate emotion can be distilled into pure visual language.

Created in 1991, this Lichtenstein pop art Screenprint  in colors is hand-signed by Roy Lichtenstein (New York, 1923 – New York, 1997) in pencil: ‘rf Lichtenstein’.  Numbered from the edition of 100, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
