Untitled (image of sandwich and soda). Print from the suite 'Ten Works by Ten Painters.' is a 1964 by Roy Lichtenstein, depicting food, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print turns a plain lunch into something bold and graphic. Roy Lichtenstein took an everyday sandwich and soda and made it pop. He used printing tricks from comic books—tiny dots called Benday dots—to give the picture its sharp, eye-catching look. Lichtenstein often borrowed from ads and comics. Here, he took a quiet still life and gave it energy from modern American life. Next, look up another artist named Lichtenstein, Roy.
