Roy Lichtenstein, Les Nymphéas, 1993, offers a bold reinterpretation of Monet’s iconic water lilies, translating Impressionist fluidity into the sharp visual language of Pop Art. The tranquil garden scene is distilled into crisp outlines, Ben-Day dots, and luminous planes of color that vibrate with energy. Lichtenstein replaces the atmospheric softness of Monet’s brushwork with a sense of graphic precision, turning rippling water and floating blooms into abstract patterns that hover between nature and design. Both a tribute and a transformation, Les Nymphéas reflects Lichtenstein’s fascination with perception — how the same subject can shift from poetic impression to cool, mechanical beauty through the lens of modern image-making.

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 100, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
