Interior

The series primarily reflects the artist’s fascination with the paradoxical relationship between fine art and design. The Interior series features a variety of conceptual ideas and skills that Lichtenstein acquired in the preceding years culminating in this body of work. As such, the sequence is also a unique contribution to Lichtenstein’s career. The sequence is characterised by a highly stylised aesthetic of mundane domestic spaces, transformed through contrasting contouring, regimented patterns, and block colouring. The familiarity of Lichtenstein’s Interiors is further enhanced and reinvented through flat picture planes and distorted perspectives.

With his Interior series, Lichtenstein demonstrates a nuanced knowledge of creative paradigms. A recurring theme in the series is the inclusion of works by many of Lichtenstein’s fellow contemporary artists. In Red Lamps (1990), for example, a painting that references Jackson Pollock seemingly half appears hanging on the wall on the right-hand side of the composition. Meanwhile, in Yellow Vase (1992) and Modern Room (1991) both, subtle Andy Warhol-inspired paintings hang prominently on the portrayed walls. Last but not least, Living Room (1992) incorporates Lichtenstein’s own work, featuring his distinctive brushstroke motif on the left-hand side of the image.

These iconographical placements rightfully establish Lichtenstein alongside his contemporaries within an aesthetic tradition that recognises the artistic potential of popular culture. They also demonstrate the awareness Lichtenstein had of art history and his position within it. The series additionally serves as an overt reminder of the artist’s own presence within his work.
