Meaning & Analysis

The partly hidden images in this sequence are altered and obscured by the fractions of stylised glass, pushing them to the point of abstraction. The subjects are glimpsed between sharp mirrored shapes that break and refract the surface of the image. With these works, Lichtenstein presents disjointed collages and graphic compositions of reflective light.

Similar to Reflections On Girl of the same series, Reflections on Hair depicts a stereotypical comic-style blonde girl. In line with the artist’s portraits of cartoon heroines from the 1960s, the composition is cropped and fragmented. Locks of golden hair constitute the only identifiable elements, as the rest of the figure’s face is obscured by abstract reflective streaks. The dynamic contours of the curls are juxtaposed against the rigid, artificially straight lines of the glass. These form a jarring contrast between the different layers in the composition, drawing attention to the multitude of different patterns, colours and forms.

  • 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.
