The artwork “Mirror six panels #3,” created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1971, is a notable piece within the Pop Art movement. Executed using magna, oil, and canvas, this piece measures 243.8 by 274.3 cm and belongs to Lichtenstein’s “Mirror” series. The genre of the artwork is classified as interior, and it is currently housed at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) in San Diego, California, USA.
The artwork features six vertical panels that create a composition reflecting the artist’s distinctive use of Ben-Day dots, a hallmark of Pop Art. The mirrored panels display a gradient effect formed by patterns of dots, with varying densities creating an illusion of light and reflection. The juxtaposition of white, yellow, and deep blue against the intricate dot matrix contributes to the piece’s visual impact. The minimalist yet dynamic aesthetic evokes the themes of reflection and perception, which are central to Lichtenstein’s exploration of everyday objects through a transformed, stylized lens.
