Meaning & Analysis

Two decades after the publication of Allen Ginsberg’s 1972 poetry collection, The Fall Of America, Roy Lichtenstein was entrusted with illustrating a selection of poems from the book. Ginsberg was a central member of the Beat Generation, a literary movement responding to changes in American culture and politics in the post-war era.

Illustration for ‘Amérique’ is predicated on Ginsberg’s original poem titled “America”, which is inherently a call for national introspection. “America I’ve given you all and now I’m nothing. America after all it is you and I who are perfect not the next world. I’m addressing you”, writes the poet. “It occurs to me that I am America. I am talking to myself again.”


Similar to Forms In Space from 1985, Illustration For Amérique breaks down the American flag’s elemental features into enlarged blue dots and red slanted lines. In his mechanised interpretation of the upside-down flag, the artist explores the artifice of perspective and the limits of flatness. Stripping the object of its original context and appearance, Lichtenstein reduces its implied uniqueness and individuality. With his Illustration For Amérique, the artist ponders Ginsberg’s and society’s need for universal symbols and the love-hate relationships we forge with our homelands.
