Label TextRoy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) was a key figure of the Pop Art movement, working primarily to make paintings or prints which look like mass-produced commercial products. Inspired by comic strips and advertising, Lichtenstein used printmaking to enhance the machine-made look of his art. This hyper-simplified mirror captures only the bright glare and shadow of a fractured reflection.
