About Compositions II

“Compositions II,” created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1964, is a captivating piece encapsulating the essence of the Pop Art movement. Executed using magna on canvas, this still life artwork measures 142.2 x 121.9 cm and is currently housed in the Museo d’Arte Contemporanea (MADRE) in Naples, Italy.

The artwork features a striking, monochromatic design that mimics the appearance of a classic composition notebook cover, marked by an intricate pattern of black and white swirls. In the center, a rectangular label prominently displays the word “Compositions” in a stylized font, with lines beneath intended for a name, and a price marked as 59ยข. This visually engaging piece exemplifies Lichtenstein’s signature style, blending commercial art techniques with fine art, challenging the distinctions between high art and popular culture.
