The artwork titled “Mirror Six Panels #1” was created by artist Roy Lichtenstein in 1970. Executed using magna and oil on canvas, this piece is a prominent example of the Pop Art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 243.8 x 274.3 cm. It belongs to the genre of interior art and is part of the “Mirror” series. “Mirror Six Panels #1” is currently housed in the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien (MUMOK) in Vienna, Austria.
The artwork features six rectangular panels arranged vertically side by side. Each panel presents a distinct segment composed of various abstract shapes and colors, primarily in black, white, and yellow. The composition employs Lichtenstein’s characteristic use of Ben-Day dots, bold lines, and flat color planes, reflecting the artist’s signature style that draws from commercial art and comic strips. The interplay of these elements creates an illusion reminiscent of reflected images or surfaces, adhering to the thematic essence of mirrors suggested by the series’ title. The juxtaposition and repetition of patterns contribute to a dynamic visual rhythm, hallmarking this piece as a notable work within Lichtenstein’s oeuvre.
