The artwork titled “Woman sunlight-moonlight” was created by the artist Roy Lichtenstein and belongs to the Pop Art movement. This piece falls under the genre of portrait.
The artwork features two vibrant busts of a woman, each one capturing different lighting effects. The left bust, with her head tilted upward, is illuminated with colors suggestive of sunlight, highlighted by the bright yellow in her hair. The right bust mirrors the same pose but depicts the woman under the moonlight, as demonstrated by the blue tones in her hair. The characteristic Ben-Day dots, a hallmark of Lichtenstein’s style, cover her face and neck, creating a textured and distinctive effect. The contrast in colors between the two busts offers a striking visual balance, emphasizing the interplay between light and shadow in a stylized, Pop Art manner.
