Meaning & Analysis

Lichtenstein’s Water Lilies of 1992 is a celebrated limited edition of screen prints manufactured on stainless steel. This important body of work demonstrates the artist’s interest in reinterpreting genres and grandmasters. In this series, Lichtenstein pays homage to impressionist Claude Monet’s “Nymphéas” oil paintings. Using a carefully honed stylistic and formal visual language, the artist reimagines the impressionistic landscape as uniform and commercially produced.

Water Lilies with Willows is a stunning example of Lichtenstein’s ground-breaking approach to material and form. The work is unique in that 17 different colours were applied to its canvas. The artist was interested in distilling the character of an image into signs and archetypes. As such, Water Lilies with Willows presents tree bark, lily pads, cascading willows and reflections, rendered in thick outlines, swirls, diagonal patterning, and Ben Day dots.

  • 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.
