Roy Lichtenstein — Reverie For Sale

Roy Lichtenstein Reverie Prints For Sale

Roy Lichtenstein Reverie prints for sale at Guy Hepner Gallery, New York. The Reverie series represents a significant chapter in Lichtenstein's print output — works that apply his signature Pop graphic vocabulary to dreamy, romantic imagery drawn from the visual language of mid-century popular illustration and women's magazine fiction.

The Series

The Reverie works draw on the same source material as his celebrated comic book paintings — the romance and melodrama comics of the 1950s and early 1960s, with their lovelorn heroines and halftoned thought balloons. Where the early Pop paintings drew on action and crisis, the Reverie series dwells in interior states: the floating, unfocused consciousness of the daydream, rendered in Lichtenstein's flat graphic language of dots, colour fields, and black outlines.

The series captures a mood that is distinctive within his oeuvre — less confrontational than the Brushstroke works, less self-referential than the Reflections series, the Reverie prints occupy a quieter register. The source imagery of the dream state — clouds, floating figures, softened focus — is converted into his characteristic mechanical precision, creating works in which the subjective inner life is submitted to the objective graphic system.
