About Artist's studio - The dance

The artwork titled “Artist’s studio – The dance” was created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1974. This piece, executed in magna and oil on canvas, belongs to the Pop Art movement and measures 243.8 by 325.1 centimeters. It falls under the genre of interior art and is housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.

The artwork depicts a vibrant and stylized interior scene, rich with symbolic and visual elements characteristic of Lichtenstein’s signature Pop Art style. The tableau comprises a studio setting featuring a combination of bold primary colors, black outlines, and Ben-Day dots. Prominently displayed are abstract figures engaged in a dance, their forms rendered with simplified, exaggerated curves and lines. The studio’s interior includes objects such as a still life arrangement with lemons on a tablecloth, a coffee pot, vases, and art supplies in the vicinity. The background elements, such as windows and additional figures, add depth and context, merging the quotidian with the artistic practice, thereby immersing the viewer in a dynamic blend of reality and representation.
