The artwork titled “Curtains” was created by the renowned artist Roy Lichtenstein in 1962. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece measures 172.7 by 144.8 cm and is a notable example of the Pop Art movement. Classified under the genre of interior art, it is currently housed at the Saint Louis Art Museum in St. Louis, Missouri, United States.
In the artwork, Lichtenstein employs his distinctive bold lines and stark contrasts to depict a domestic interior scene focusing on an intricately drawn set of curtains. The curtains are elaborately detailed with ruffles and folds, rendered in a style reminiscent of comic book illustrations. The use of black outline against softer hues contributes to the dramatic effect, emphasizing the voluminous and textured appearance of the curtains. This piece exemplifies Lichtenstein’s ability to transform everyday objects into iconic symbols through his signature aesthetic approach within the Pop Art movement.
