Roy Lichtenstein’s, Cubist Cello, 1997, offers a contemporary Pop Art reinterpretation of Cubist form and structure. With bold outlines, stylized facets, and a refined sense of balance, Lichtenstein breaks the cello into clean geometric shapes that echo early twentieth century abstraction. The composition highlights rhythm, clarity, and the interplay of overlapping planes, giving the instrument a modern and visually engaging presence. Polished, inventive, and thoughtfully constructed, Cubist Cello reflects Lichtenstein’s late period fascination with reimagining art historical styles through his own crisp, graphic language.

Created in 1997, 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 75, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
