Lichtenstein relished the 'accidental' modernism of the comics' visual style, with their flattening of space and simplification of form.⠀ .⠀ Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1977). 'Pitcher Triptych', 1972. Estimate: £1,600,000–2,500,000.⠀ .⠀ Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale — 22 October, London.⠀ .⠀⠀ #roylichtenstein #lichtenstein #popart #artist #painting #20thcenturyart」10月19日 4時37分
