Meaning & Analysis

Similar to Two Paintings: Beach Ballof the same series, Two Paintings: Green Lamp captures two adjacent paintings mounted on a striped wall. The composition on the right is contained in a minimalistic silver frame. It is a brilliant modernist still life depiction, recalling Lichtenstein’s Six Still Lifesof the early 1970s. On the left hangs a baroque style silver frame, with a bright yellow passepartout. The portrait within exhibits emotive black sweeps, superimposed on blue cartoon brushstrokes. Lichtenstein’s concurrent Seven Apple Woodcuts and later Brushstroke Faces pursue comparable imitations of abstract expressionist brushwork.

Two Paintings: Green Lamp compounds primary and pastel pigments in order to invoke a sense of spatial ambiguity. Vague dimensions are further enforced through the contrastive hand-painted and machine-made patterns and the partial cropping of the frames. Lichtenstein displays his schematic comic book forms and spontaneous brushstrokes as equals. In doing so, he achieves an added layer of self-parody. The artist emphasises the object quality of the print, allowing it to function as an image in itself, while also being the representation of other images.

  • 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.
