Still Life with Red Jar

Inspired by the history and gravitas of the Still Life motif, Lichtenstein began creating Still Life paintings in 1972; he interspersed these paintings - and later, prints - throughout his oeuvre, incorporating subject matter ranging from flowers and fruit to famous artists from past decades. He rendered his Still Life works in the same flattened, comic-strip-style for which he was renowned. This particular print was created to benefit Rivington House (an AIDS care facility).
