Between the years 1982 to 1985, Lichtenstein created a series of paintings which took on “paintings” as their subject. This work is a continuation of that project except using the concept of a woodcut and lithograph. Painterly brush strokes of pale gray and yellow surround defined, dark stripes. The border is comprised of a vibrant yellow and black pattern. Eye catching and balanced, this work achieves a seamless balance between pastel and bright colors. Lichtenstein demonstrates his mastery of two wide-ranging mediums.

Roy Lichtenstein "Paintings": is a group of color prints created in 1984 by American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. In this series, Lichtenstein explores the act of painting itself as both subject and symbol, turning brushstrokes, frames, and canvases into self-referential images. Using bold outlines, Ben Day dots, and vibrant color fields, he transforms the expressive gestures of traditional painting into precise, graphic compositions. The Paintings Series reflects Lichtenstein’s fascination with the relationship between process and image, blending humor, abstraction, and commentary on the nature of art and reproduction.
