About Stepping out

“Stepping Out,” created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1978, exemplifies his contributions to the Pop Art movement. Executed with magna and oil on canvas, the artwork measures 218.4 x 177.8 cm and is categorized within the portrait genre. This notable piece showcases Lichtenstein’s distinctive approach to art through its bold colors and comic-strip-inspired style.

The artwork presents two abstracted figures, positioned adjacent to one another. The figure on the left features vivid yellow hair and an expressive eye, with a face marked by red Ben-Day dots, typical in Lichtenstein’s work to mimic comic book aesthetics. The figure on the right contrasts with yellow skin tones, adorned with a hat and a patterned shirt, evoking a playful yet sophisticated demeanor. The juxtaposition of stark black lines and bright colors creates a dynamic visual impact, emphasizing the artist’s commentary on both modern society and the evolving landscape of visual culture.
