“Collage for Nude with White Flower” by Roy Lichtenstein, created in 1994, is a collage executed on board. Measuring 78.1 x 61 cm, it belongs to the Pop Art movement and is categorized under the genre of nude painting.
The artwork presents a composition incorporating Lichtenstein’s signature comic strip aesthetic, evident in the use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and Ben-Day dots. The central subject is a nude female figure, characterized by a simplified form and a stylized, almost abstract rendition. She is engaged in a reflective pose, with one hand touching her face and the other resting near a white flower placed in a vase on a table. The background features a room accentuated with linear patterns and everyday objects, adding to the domestic setting of the scene. The juxtaposition of the subject’s nudity with the mundane, daily surroundings and the white flower imbues the piece with a sense of contrast and contemplation.
