Roy Lichtenstein (after) - Pistole / 1968

Pistole poster 1968 by Roy Lichtenstein.

Roy Lichtenstein was one of the key figures of American pop art and as such he drew inspiration for his work both from popular art: commercials, magazines, comics... and from the history of traditional art: Art Deco, cubism, abstract expressionism (in which he militated at the beginning of his career)...

Lichtenstein's work is characterized by its irony (something that pop artists boasted, sometimes disguised as snobbery or superficiality...), the use of benday dots (used in graphic arts) and industrial colors, the language of comics (onomatopoeias, vignettes, narrative) and the mastery of the line.

Lichtenstein began in the fashionable abstract expressionism, but soon joined the rest of the pop guerrilla to rebel against the abstract and use figuration. And the more popular and mechanical the figuration, the better.
There was certainly nothing more popular and mechanical than a comic book in 1958, so Lichtenstein decided that he was going to create mass-produced commercial images.
Mind you... what looked like a machine was reproduced by hand.
