Meaning & Analysis

The partly hidden images in this sequence are altered and obscured by the fractions of stylised glass, pushing them to the point of abstraction. The subjects are glimpsed between sharp mirrored shapes that break and refract the surface of the image. Harsh lines cut across the composition and result in the layered effect of various pictorial planes, creating a deceptive sense of depth.

The figures themselves are also recognisable from some of Lichtenstein’s most iconic works, and each of the Reflections prints references one of the artist’s signature motifs. Similar to As I Opened Fireof 1966, Reflections On Crash references a comic book war scene, displayed beneath a printed frame with reflections on its surface. Lichtenstein adds green and orange for a more varied tonal range. The narrative is interrupted by the shards of reflective glass, and the text is partly covered, challenging the beholder to decipher the composition beneath.

  • 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.
