Meaning & Analysis

Painting In A Gold Frame showcases the left bottom corner of a classic gold frame, mounted on a wall adorned by black and yellow stripes. Lichtenstein’s intricate composition reveals hand-painted, as well as machine-made patterns. As such, schematic dark green and cream cartoon strokes intersect the painterly pastel sweeps on the canvas. Painting In A Gold Frame juxtaposes the artist’s own comic book shapes with the appropriated brushwork of the abstract expressionists. Lichtenstein’s concurrent Seven Apple Woodcuts and later Brushstroke Faces achieve similar imitations of the emotive manner of Abstract Expressionism.

Painting In A Gold Frame evokes a surprising layer of self-parody. The interwoven pigments induce spatial ambiguity, emphasising the flatness of Lichtenstein’s detached graphics. The vague dimensions are further enforced by partial cropping, bringing the viewer’s attention to the object quality of the print. Ultimately, Lichtenstein undermines the idea of artistic originality in this work, by presenting an image that is also the representation of another image.

  • 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.
