Roy Lichtenstein was an American pop artist best known for his boldly-colored parodies of comic strips and advertisements. In the 1960s, Lichtenstein became a leading figure of the new Pop Art movement. Inspired by advertisements and comic strips, Lichtenstein's bright, graphic works parodied American popular culture and the art world itself.
About Still Life with Pitcher and Flowers – Roy Lichtenstein – Pop Art Painting
Beginning in 1972, he began to work on still life, making his own updated contribution to the venerated historical genre, using hard, vivid color and simulated Ben-Day dots. In Still Life With Pitcher and Flowers, Lichtenstein rendered his work in flat, outlined shapes that were inspired by newspaper and print advertisements and painted to look like the originals. Lichtenstein’s mature career was defined by his “cartoon” mode. After 1966 he applied his comic style to a broad range of found imagery. The artist almost always began with a two-dimensional source, often a comic image or another readily distillable form of printed mass communication. He then sketched the image, recomposing it to suit narrative clarity or formal ends. Subsequently, he traced the drawing onto canvas, continuing to make compositional adjustments, and then painted the work, sometimes with the aid of assistants.
