Roy Lichtenstein, Still Life, 1968, reimagines a classical genre through the bold, mechanical lens of Pop Art. Utilizing his signature Ben-Day dots, crisp outlines, and primary color palette, Lichtenstein flattens traditional still life elements—such as fruit, vessels, or flowers—into stylized, graphic forms. The composition is at once familiar and radically modern, blending everyday subject matter with the cool detachment of commercial illustration. By removing texture and gesture, Lichtenstein transforms the still life into a study of visual language itself—challenging conventions of beauty, realism, and artistic value. Both elegant and ironic, Still Life exemplifies his unique approach to reinterpreting art history with clarity, wit, and conceptual depth.
Created in 1968, 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 50, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
