Roy Lichtenstein’s, Picture and Pitcher, 1981, plays with the relationship between representation and object through his signature Pop Art clarity. Using bold outlines, balanced forms, and refined graphic structure, Lichtenstein pairs an image with a physical vessel to create a clever visual dialogue. The composition highlights contrast, symmetry, and the interplay between flat imagery and three-dimensional form. Clean, modern, and conceptually engaging, Picture and Pitcher reflects Lichtenstein’s continued exploration of perception, design, and the aesthetics of everyday objects.

Created in 1981, this Lichtenstein pop art Woodcut in colors is hand-signed by Roy Lichtenstein (New York, 1923 – New York, 1997) in pencil: ‘rf Lichtenstein’.  Numbered from the edition of 30, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
