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.
