Roy Lichtenstein - “As i opened Fire”. - 1990s

Triptych While I opened fire, based on the original paintings from 1964 by Roy Lichtenstein, from the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
Each poster is in mint condition and measures 64 cm x 53 cm.

This triptych is inspired by the comic "All American Men of War". The three images in "As I Opened Fire" work together to tell a story. The narrative is reinforced with carefully added text. This work references a revolution in art in the 1960s. Formally, Lichtenstein appropriated images from popular culture. He placed them in an art-context by enlarging them, modifying them slightly, and painting them on canvas. In this way, the artist blurred the line between high and low art.
He followed a strict, self-imposed formal vocabulary. Lichtenstein emphasized primary colors, black contours, and enlarged Benday dots that are often seen in mechanical reproductions. This work, a typical example of Pop Art, can be understood as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism. Lichtenstein responds with the erasure of the artist’s hand in his painting.
