Product Information

A simple image and a single word explode in Roy Lichtenstein’s heroic “Blam.” Originally painting old West scenes in modern styles, Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997) began transforming single scenes into paintings with a process that reproduced comic book-style dots. Lichtenstein’s cartoons, influenced by Cubism, poked fun at clichés, and were splashed with short sentences that he called Pop poetry.

This art print displays sharp, vivid images with a high degree of color accuracy. A member of the versatile family of art prints, this high-quality reproduction represents the best of both worlds: quality and affordability. Art prints are created on paper similar to that of a postcard or greeting card using an offset lithography press.

About the Artist

Important 20th century Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein’s work came directly from the pages of pulp fiction novels and comic books. Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997) originally taught at a university, drawing inspiration from artists who depicted everyday life. He first painted semi-abstract Old West scenes, before shifting to Americana. He later produced comic strip scenes printed with a process that replicated comic book-style dots. In other works, Lichtenstein explored the contradictions of three dimensions represented on flat surfaces.
