Masterpiece, 1962 Poster by Roy Lichtenstein

Masterpiece, 1962 Poster by Roy Lichtenstein

At the time, Lichtenstein was entertaining himself with the title, but this really is his masterpiece. This large poster reproduces this mould-breaking Pop Art work, featuring a blonde woman talking to her boyfriend ‘Brad’, the heroic character Lichtenstein incorporated into a number of his paintings. Lichtenstein included a thought bubble, a convention of comic book art, to create a narrative between the two subjects. The artist used the Ben Day dots printing process which involves small coloured dots being closely, widely spaced, or overlapped onto a  canvas. The dots are printed using the CMYK colour model which includes only four ink plates in cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black).

Approximate Dimensions: Paper size 102 × 86 cm;  Image size 80 × 80 cm
Please hang away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. The print has a white border containing the artist's name and print title near the bottom edge. 

Pop art pioneer Roy Lichtenstien (1923-1997) created his first poppy works in the 1950s: cartoon-strip style paintings, exaggerated printed dots, loud lettering and violently coloured explosions became the trademarks of his work. Heavily influenced by advertising of the time, his tongue-in-cheek style often served as a social commentary on the changing nature of contemporary American society. Bold, graphic, iconic and kitsch these are real statement prints that pack a punch.
