About Woman in a wheelchair

The artwork titled “Woman in a Wheelchair” was created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1963. This piece belongs to the Cubism art movement and is rendered using magna on canvas. It is a portrait that measures 172.7 x 121.9 cm and is currently housed at the Hamburger Bahnhof (Museum für Gegenwart) in Berlin, Germany.

The artwork features a woman depicted in a characteristic Cubist style with geometric abstraction. It employs bold, solid colors and sharp lines to break down the figure into its essential forms. The use of bright and contrasting colors, such as blue for the woman’s attire and green for the wheelchair and parts of the figure, is noticeable. The background is divided with a yellow section, creating a vivid contrast with the figure. The woman’s facial features and limbs are simplified and fragmented, revealing different planes and angles that give the piece a unique dynamism and complexity typical of Cubism.
