Reverie by Roy Lichtenstein in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, March 2008
Roy Lichtenstein. American, 1923-1997
Reverie (from 11 Pop Artists portfolio, vol. 2, 1966), 1965
Screenprint, 195/200
Accession # 2007.49.562d
Comic-book inspired pictures made with flat primary colors and Benday dots have made Lichtenstein's work synonymous with Pop Art since the early 1960s. Like Warhol, he had experience as a commercial artist and graphic designer, which contributed to the "authentic" mass-media look of his prints and his paintings on canvas. With his characteristic sense of irony, Lichtenstein depicts an overwrought damsel singing about lost love in a dialogue bubble. As social commentary, it makes us question the pervasive role of the media– magazines, television, and advertisements– in shaping our emotional expectations.
