Meaning & Analysis

Lichtenstein’s Interior works of the early 1990s takes the ultimate image of quotidian domesticity as its main subject matter. The intricate collection is rendered in the artist’s characteristic palette of bold primary colours, delineated outlines, and Ben Day dots. The prints reflect the artist’s fascination with the paradoxical relationship between fine art and design. The sequence is also a unique manifestation of the varied conceptual ideas and technical skills Lichtenstein honed throughout his career.

A recurring theme in the Interior seriesis the inclusion of works by other contemporary artists. In the present work, Red Lamps from 1990, a painting that clearly references Jackson Pollock’s work appears hanging on the wall on the right-hand side of the composition. This work is characterised by a highly stylised aesthetic. It transforms a mundane interior into a portrait of defined contouring, regimented patterns, and block colours. Cropping close on his forms, Lichtenstein makes use of a flat surface plane and a distorted perspective.

The references and the visual language self-consciously establish Lichtenstein alongside his peers. Theirs was a contemporary tradition that recognised the artistic potential of the aesthetics of popular culture. The print also demonstrates the profound awareness Lichtenstein had of art history, and of his crucial position within it.

  • 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.
