Specialist note
Brushstroke Still Life with Lamp is one of the final projects completed by Roy Lichtenstein before his death in September 1997. Immediately identifiable as Lichtenstein, the present work employs two motifs ever present througout his oeuvre, the theme of the still-life and the iconic theme of the obliterating brushstroke.
One of three prints in process at the time of Lichtenstein's death, the present work is the only one completed by the artist before his death with the addition of the hand-painted brushstroke. This unique hand-painted brushstrokes offers visual and textural contrast to the screen printed base on which the work is executed.
