Historical Description

Roy Lichtenstein, Water Lily, 1993, reimagines nature through the lens of his unmistakable Pop aesthetic — a world where organic forms become structured patterns of dots, lines, and flat planes of color. The serene motif of floating lilies, long celebrated by artists like Monet, is here transformed into something graphic and controlled, balancing beauty with irony. Lichtenstein replaces painterly brushwork with precise Ben-Day dots and geometric outlines, turning the soft, reflective surface of water into a field of visual rhythm and stylized order. The result is both meditative and mechanical — a cool, modern meditation on the act of looking, where the natural and the artificial coexist in perfect tension.

Created in 1993, 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 130, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
