ArtistLichtenstein used his comic-book style to deconstruct historic masterpieces Still Life With Portrait, from Lichtenstein’s Six Still Lifes series, contrasted themes often found in European Old Master paintings – such as fruit, a jug and draping fabrics – with modern printing marks like Benday dots and bright, cartoonish colours, along with his idealised, comic-book heroine. “When we think of still lifes, we think of paintings that have a certain atmosphere or ambience. My still life paintings have none of those qualities, they just have pictures of certain things that are in a still life, like lemons and grapefruits and so forth,” said Lichtenstein. “It’s not meant to have the usual still life meaning.”
