Meaning & Analysis

Roy Lichtenstein’s Repeated Design from 1969presents a flattened picture plane with a bright geometrical design. The work manifests a middle ground between figuration and abstraction.Repeated Design precedes Modern Printof 1971 and acts as a successor to the artist’s Banner IVof 1968.

The print’s colour palette is in line with Lichtenstein’s favoritism of unmodulated pigments, as he situates slick black and white forms on a brilliant yellow backdrop. Seeking to actively obliterate painterly gestures, the perfected shapes are connected through a smooth superimposition of colours and patterns. Lichtenstein’s use of Ben Day dots adds shadowing and texture to the sharp angles and curved edges portrayed. Dotted grey triangles and rectangles are merged across the surface of this print, assembled into a repetitive and intense composition.

Repeated Design’s busy picture plane balances firm lines against scattered dots. As a result, the work ultimately captures an interplay between dynamic versus static elements. The print draws first and foremost on the fundamentals of Cubism and Constructivism. Blazing a trail for Lichtenstein’s later Modern Head series, the work is also a fusion of visuals abstracted from commercial design. More specifically, the composition blends forms borrowed from the streamlined art deco style of the 1930s.

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.
