Meaning & Analysis

Sunrise from 1965 uses Lichtenstein's iconic pop aesthetic to define the pictorial space of an early morning oceanscape. The work combines the elementary attributes of landscape painting with the artist’s interest in unified imagery. Sunrise’s minimalist sun emerges steadily from behind the boldly defined horizon line. The rays are demarcated by pale yellow bands of colour constrained within thick blue borders. The entire backdrop of the print is populated by red, white and blue Ben-Day dots, offering the optical sensation of hazy skies.

The white core of the sun is the focal point of the work, as it sustains the rest of the canvas. Meanwhile, illustrated passages of defined clouds add a sense of solidity to the upper half of the composition. Lichtenstein contrasts the light that radiates from the centre against the shadows folded between the waves. His rendition of a sunrise is a witty, contemporary nod to the motif’s art historical precedents.

  • 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.
