Over the course of decades, Roy Lichtenstein’s innovations as a Pop Art pioneer, came to symbolize art’s collision with popular culture, a collision that continues to develop today. From comic exaggerations of advertising to images of war, cartoon icons to consumer goods, anything and everything printed and distributed in American culture was a potential subject for Lichtenstein’s painting. Originally created using oil and Magna on canvas—Mirror #1 (1969) highlights many of the techniques he used in his practice, including Benday dots, hatch marks, blocked coloring and shadows, and the delineation of forms with simple black lines.
