Description:
|
Lichtenstein’s Reflections on "Interior with Girl Drawing", 1990 takes as its subject Pablo Picasso’s Interior with a Girl Drawing, 1935. (Lichtenstein quotes Picasso in another work in the collection, Femme d’Alger, 1963.) Here, within the painting Lichtenstein includes a frame and reflections, as if the frame was a part of Picasso’s painted surface. In Picasso’s work, the depicted girl drawing appears to be looking in a mirror, perhaps sketching herself. Lichtenstein takes it a step further in this late work, adding streaks that signal a reflective surface painted in his famous Ben-Day dot style.
