ROY LICHTENSTEIN
A Retrospective
In the first major exhibition since Roy Lichtenstein’s death in 1997, the National Gallery of Art presents more than 100 of the artist’s greatest paintings from all periods of his career along with a selection of related drawings and sculptures. This retrospective presents Lichtenstein’s expansive legacy, including the classic early pop paintings based on advertisements and comic-book treatments of war and romance, his versions of paintings by the modern masters, and series including Brushstrokes, Mirrors, Artist’s Studios, Nudes, and Chinese Landscapes. Over the course of his career, Lichtenstein’s work has been the subject of more than 240 solo exhibitions, the last full survey having been organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1993.
