Although well-known for his paintings that drew their subject matter from the melodrama played out between the covers of mass-market comic books, Roy Lichtenstein’s landscapes are an important part of his early oeuvre and did much to help develop and enunciate his iconic Pop language. This lithograph based on a painting in 1965, Sunrise, is one of a select group of landscapes that Lichtenstein created incorporating his strong, bold lines and passages of high-keyed color together with his signature Ben-Day dots to capture the ethereal emotions and sensations conjured up by the warm rays of the rising sun. This rare example is the only one of the six sunrise works to have been executed. The others all having been fabricated in a variety of media ranging from Lithography to porcelain enamel on perforated steel.
