Roy Lichtenstein is honored with a stamp featuring his renowned work “Still Life with Crystal Bowl” (1972). The issuance took place on April 24, 2023, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in NYC. The set comprises five stamps highlighting different pieces by Lichtenstein. His experimental landscapes, influenced by comic art, showcase his distinctive Pop Art style. These landscapes, whether representational or abstract, demonstrate Lichtenstein’s innovative use of materials. In his later years, he revisited landscapes, concentrating on classical Chinese landscapes using halftone dots.
