This lot consists of a fine art print on paper, hand signed "Roy Lichtenstein" and numbered "32/40" in graphite at bottom. Image depicts the tearful eye of a comic book woman; we see only a fragment of her visage. The visual space is vacant, splintered. As with all Lichtenstein's work, the viewer is drawn in by the artwork's mystery, and held by its humanity. Done in the bold, contemporary style of Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923-1997). Unframed, matted piece measures approximately 9.5" x 11.75".

Roy Lichtenstein was an American leader of the Pop Art movement, known for his tongue-in-cheek use of comic book and advertising motifs. Lichtenstein worked across mediums and has become a major luminary of modern art in America. The flat lines and color-blocked sterility of his images are counterpointed by the expressive poignancy of the details. His comic book characters, often overtly emotional, usually speak to universal struggles or inner conflicts. Easily identifiable and easily connected with, the art of Roy Lichtenstein is a priceless addition to any collection.
