Roy Fox Lichtenstein was an American Pop artist. His works often featured cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Popeye. He later imitated popular comic strips, creating a series of romance paintings featuring young women and war paintings depicting aerial combat. Lichtenstein studied the work of Mondrian, Matisse, Cézanne, Monet, and the American artists de Kooning, Pollock, and Remington, as well as Eastern art. He also invented his own dot-painting technique.

This poster featuring Still Life with Palette (1972) was produced in 2010, in conjunction with Roy Lichtenstein: Still Lifes at Gagosian, 555 West 24th Street, New York. This was the first exhibition devoted solely to Lichtenstein’s still-life paintings, sculptures, and drawings, which date from 1972 through the early 1980s.

Lichtenstein is known for his depictions of American cartoons from the 1940s and 1950s. Figures in a Landscape clearly reflects Roy Lichtenstein's signature style.

This is far removed from a landscape painting in the traditional sense. A woman in profile, probably the artist’s wife, appears as a subject alongside a pillar and a knotted section. Although the picture includes a horizon with a view of the Øresund, a sailboat, and two seagulls, the composition looks more like a jumbled puzzle, one that is easiest to piece together from a distance because of the aesthetics of the printing technique and the image’s enormous size.
