Roy Lichtenstein- Reflections on the Scream
Guy Hepner Contemporary has newly acquired the 1990 Roy Lichtenstein screenprint, Reflections on the Scream, printed only in an edition of 68. This one of a kind piece is another example of Lichtenstein’s style of work heavily influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book style. He began work on this series of Reflections paintings in 1988, with a theme of making the central image partially obscured, to make it seem as though the image is behind glass or being reflected by a mirror of some sort.
Lichtenstein was a prominent American pop artist, who described Pop art as, "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting". He is one of the most famous and influential pop artists from the pop movement. He emphasized the use of primary colors and dots to duplicate the look of newspaper type printed comic strip.
