Heritage Auctions is pleased to feature a major work by Roy Lichtenstein, Reflections on Girl, 1990. The print is in the iconic style of Lichtenstein with punchy primary colors, ben-day dots, and heavy black outlines. Lichtenstein used a cliché image of a 1960s female beauty that he found in a comic book titled "Falling in Love." Rather than copying the image outright, Lichtenstein made the woman even more "stereotypical" by changing her hair color to blonde and adding his own thought-bubble text. He partially obscured the female and text with metalized PVC collage, making her an abstract image of reflections. By removing the original context and hiding his subject behind glass, Lichtenstein leaves his heroine confined and conflicted. The viewer must guess at the events in the narrative and can't fully grasp what is taking place. This creates an intentional emotional distance between the viewer and the melodrama of the scene. The artist draws attention to the image as a flat and somewhat meaningless construction. By cleverly reworking the original comic illustration, Lichtenstein symbolically underscores the manner in which all stereotypes are constructed.
