Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) was a great and influential pop artist and was preoccupied during his final decade with two series, Nudes and Interiors. The Interiors, with the artist's usual dry wit, depict domestic interiors, sometimes decorated with the artist's own signature works. This monograph brings together all of Lichtenstein's Interiors paintings, prints and sculpture, along with source materials, drawings and studies, illuminating the evolution of his ideas. It also includes many key works from his earlier career.

In Roy Lichtenstein's living room
23 Nov 2008
By Reich Claude
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A companion to a 1999 exhibition held at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, this book focuses on a series that the artist painted in the 1990's, one of the last before his death in 1997, of interiors (living rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms...), a series that obviously harks back to Richard Hamilton's landmark collage "Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?", a defining moment of Pop Art. The illustrations (all in color)and photographs of Lichtenstein's studio or source material (popular comics) are accompanied by short and lively texts, all written by authorities on Lichtenstein (his widow Dorothy, his late dealer Leo Castelli)and make this publication a valuable addition to the literature on the artist, even though this particular body of works may not be the most memorable in the artist's career.

I was overwhelmed that some of Lichestein paintings sold for over $25 million. I liked his nude period of his development as the best

An impressive and fully rounded presentation
7 Jun 2001
By Midwest Book Review
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Roy Lichtenstein is one of America's premier "pop art" painters and print makers. His style is instantly recognizable and powerfully influenced the popular culture of the last thirty years. Roy Lichtenstein: Interiors is an informative, wonderfully illustrated introduction and analysis of his "interior" paintings -- many published her for the first time. Robert Fitzpatrick is Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and effectively collaborates with Dorothy Lichtenstein, the late Leo Castelli, Sidney B. Felsen, and Cassandra Lozano to present an impressive and fully rounded presentation on the life, work, and artistic innovations of Lichtenstein. Roy Lichtenstein: Interiors is a very highly recommended addition to personal, academic, and community library American art history collections.
