Art Critic (1996) is a witty and visually arresting work from Roy Lichtenstein that captures his signature blend of satire, style, and cultural commentary. Drawing on comic book aesthetics and art historical tropes, the piece portrays a dramatic figure mid-speech—perhaps offering a critique—framed with bold lines, vibrant color blocks, and a striking composition. Both a nod to and a parody of the art world, Art Critic is a quintessential Lichtenstein piece: clever, graphic, and layered with meaning. A collector’s favorite, it exemplifies the artist’s enduring impact on Pop Art and contemporary visual culture.
