Meaning & Analysis

Mirror #3, executed in 1972, presents an increasingly minimalistic take on Mirror #2 of the same series. The work has a densely dotted backdrop, overlaid with a dark blue semicircle. The added geometric layer is positioned slightly off centre. Yellow and light blue jagged lines demarcate the edges of its frame. Lichtenstein uses these regularised patterns to allude to the reflective attributes of glass. Simultaneously, he also applies the dots and streaks to obscure his subject matter. Presented frontally, Mirror #3 displays the complete absence of reflections. As such, the print is as much a parody, as it is an illustration of a mirror.

Over the course of his career, Lichtenstein embarked on several other series dealing with vision and representation. His Water Liliesand Reflections, for instance, explore various perceptions of light and reflection. Meanwhile, Lichtenstein’s Entablatures delve further into object painting, reproducing enlarged architectural fragments as their main composition.

  • 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.
