Wallpaper 1968

This Wallpaper, by Roy Lichtenstein, is a real head-scratcher. It’s not exactly paint on canvas, but something reproducible. This puts a whole new spin on what it means to make art, right? I love how Lichtenstein takes these flat, bold colors and crisp lines, and throws in those iconic Ben-Day dots. It's like he's saying, “Hey, this is mass-produced, but it's also ART.” It reminds me of painting, where every mark is a decision. In this wallpaper, the decision is about repetition and scale, about turning something mundane into a statement. The way the black outlines define the shapes, almost like a coloring book, really draws you in. And those dots? They create texture, a visual buzz that keeps your eyes moving. It's all so clean and graphic. Lichtenstein always makes me think of Warhol. They both played with pop culture, but Roy, with his mechanical reproduction, it asks different questions. Is it painting? Is it design? Who cares, right? It’s just good.
