The artwork titled “Nurse” was created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1964. Executed using magna and oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Pop Art movement and is a portrait with dimensions of 121.9 by 121.9 centimeters.
“Nurse” features a stylized depiction of a woman, evidently a nurse, rendered in Lichtenstein’s signature comic strip-inspired style. The figure dominates the canvas with her bright yellow hair, red lips, and expressive eyes, set against a striking orange background filled with Ben-Day dots. The woman’s expression appears to be one of concern or surprise, contributed to by the dramatic shading and bold, black outlines that define her features. The meticulous use of primary colors and precise lines are characteristic of Lichtenstein’s approach, reflecting his fascination with popular culture and mass media aesthetics.
