Meaning & Analysis

Lichtenstein’s Interior artworks of the early 1990s takes the ultimate image of quotidian domesticity as its main subject matter. The intricate collection is rendered in the artist’s characteristic palette of bold primary colours, delineated outlines, and Ben Day dots. Lichtenstein’s interior prints reflect the artist’s fascination with the paradoxical relationship between fine art and design. The sequence is also a unique manifestation of the varied conceptual ideas and technical skills honed by the artist throughout his career.

Similar to Modern Room of the same series, The Den captures a mundane interior, an office space perhaps, populated by an armchair, a coffee table, and a desk. The walls enclosing the room have been rendered in regimented and varied patterns mimicking faux-wood and burlap. Meanwhile, the furniture is monochrome and simplified. The portrait on the wall, the lamp, and the flower vase are strategically situated around the space and hint at the inhabitant’s personal preferences.


The glassy surfaces and the slidable window screen on the left both point to Lichtenstein’s career-long intrigue with the visual effects of light and reflection. By taking the pervasive visual style of commercial design and incorporating it into his own work, Lichtenstein enhances and reinvents the familiarity of his chosen domestic space.
