“Hey You” is an artwork by Roy Lichtenstein, a prominent figure in the Pop Art movement. This artwork, which falls under the genre of a poster, exemplifies the distinctive style and themes often associated with Lichtenstein’s oeuvre.
The artwork features a commanding depiction of a hand extending outward with the index finger pointing directly at the viewer. The composition is striking with its bold, graphic quality, rendered in a limited palette dominated by a vivid red background, contrasted with the hand illustrated in pink and black ink patterns. The use of Ben-Day dots, a signature technique of Lichtenstein’s, adds texture to the hand, creating a sense of depth and intensity. The suit sleeve in black and white further enhances the crisp, clean lines that are hallmarks of Lichtenstein’s approach to poster art, reminiscent of comic book aesthetics. The artwork is framed by a narrow white border, with the artist’s name, “Roy Lichtenstein,” prominently displayed at the bottom in uppercase letters, emphasizing the piece’s modern, eye-catching design.
