Meaning & Analysis

The late 1960s were transformative and violent years in American history. The assassination of both Martin Luther King Jr. and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy unleashed a heated debate on weapons possession. Roy Lichtenstein’s Pistol was initially commissioned by TIME.

  • Roy Lichtenstein, born in New York, 1923, is a seminal figure in the Pop Art movement, renowned for his comic book and advertisement-inspired artworks. His transformative journey from classical painter to Pop Art pioneer began with his iconic piece, Look Mickey, marking the fusion of painting with pop culture. Lichtenstein’s works, including Whaam!, Drowning Girl, and Crying Girl, blend parody and satire, challenging the boundaries between popular culture and ‘high art’. With over 5,000 pieces to his name, Lichtenstein’s enduring influence resonates in contemporary art, his works celebrated in prestigious institutions worldwide.
