The artwork titled “Sunrise” was created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1965. This piece is executed with magna, oil, and canvas, aligning with the Pop Art movement. The dimensions of the canvas are 91 by 173 centimeters, and the artwork belongs to the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a stylized sunrise accentuated by vibrant lines and dots, characteristic of Lichtenstein’s Pop Art style. Dominating the scene is a bold red sun emerging from behind a series of waves and clouds, casting dynamic yellow rays that fan out across the upper portion of the canvas. The colors are distinct and contrasting, with the use of Ben-Day dots adding texture and depth to the composition. The scene captures the moment of daybreak with a simplified yet striking visual language.
