Before the Mirror (1975) is a refined still life by Roy Lichtenstein that distills everyday objects into pure form. Featuring a glass and a lemon rendered with precise lines and a crisp palette, the composition reflects Lichtenstein’s interest in structure, reflection, and visual perception. Deceptively simple, the work plays with flatness and depth, surface and illusion—hallmarks of Lichtenstein’s unique approach to modernist subject matter. Elegant and minimal, Before the Mirror is a contemplative piece that offers a quieter, more abstracted view into the artist’s celebrated Pop vocabulary.
