Meaning & Analysis

The evocative painterly gestures present in these works are borrowed from fine art, mimicking the artistic manner of Abstract Expressionism. Lichtenstein’s concurrent Seven Apple Woodcuts and later Brushstroke Faces achieve similar imitations of abstract expressionist brushwork. The artist supplements his intricate Paintings with the detached forms of his own comic book aesthetic. As a result, Lichtenstein evokes an added layer of self-parody in this series.

Painting On Canvas presents the majority of an imaginary artwork, framed and mounted on a striped wall. The slick print showcases a dense and energetic composition of interacting pastel tones and primary colours. Lichtenstein utilises both hand-painted and machine-made patterns. As such, the work contrasts expressive grey and blue sweeps against schematic white and cream cartoon strokes. The pigments are superimposed on a black and white faux-burlap background, making the canvas appear spatially ambiguous. Using foil to contain the interwoven colours, the artist envelops the brushstrokes in a classic silver frame.

  • Roy Lichtenstein, born in New York, 1923, is a seminal figure in the Pop Art movement, renowned for his comic book and advertisement-inspired artworks. His transformative journey from classical painter to Pop Art pioneer began with his iconic piece, Look Mickey, marking the fusion of painting with pop culture. Lichtenstein’s works, including Whaam!, Drowning Girl, and Crying Girl, blend parody and satire, challenging the boundaries between popular culture and ‘high art’. With over 5,000 pieces to his name, Lichtenstein’s enduring influence resonates in contemporary art, his works celebrated in prestigious institutions worldwide.
