Lot Details
Always interested in referencing early masters, in this late screenprint Lichtenstein updates Picasso’s cubist portraits with his iconic Pop style. Heavily influenced by the simplified forms and color palettes in both popular advertising and comic book illustrations, Lichtenstein implements both of these essential characteristics in Art Critic. Rebelling against his Abstract Expressionist peers, the screenprint technique perfectly removes the hand of the artist, uniting print medium with artist's intent.
This work was produced as a benefit print for the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), New York. Lichtenstein served on the BAM board in the mid-1980s. The funds went to the support of BAM's general programs.
