Additional Details: This offset lithograph, Girl with Tear, is part of a now out-of-print six-print portfolio published by the Guggenheim Museum, showcasing Roy Lichtenstein’s unique engagement with surrealism. While Lichtenstein is best known for his Pop Art interpretations of comic book imagery, this piece takes a more dreamlike, introspective approach, blending his signature Ben-Day dots and bold outlines with surrealist themes. Depicting a stylized female figure shedding a single tear, the image plays with emotional ambiguity—simultaneously evoking nostalgia, melancholy, and artifice. Lichtenstein’s reinterpretation of surrealism remains distinct from its traditional movement, maintaining a flat, graphic style while exploring subconscious emotion and distortion. The composition suggests both an homage to and a playful critique of sentimental and psychological expression in art, making this a compelling and collectible piece from his body of work.
