Unique Collage with Hand Coloring on Lithograph - Signed far right bottom // Larry Rivers’ Webster is a unique collage with hand coloring on lithograph, blending drawing, watercolor, and collage elements to create an imaginative portrait. At the center is a framed depiction of a historical figure, likely Daniel Webster, surrounded by vibrant floral motifs and loose, expressive lines. Above the portrait, the name Webster appears in bold, playful letters, while the word Superiores sits below the frame, adding an additional layer of context or meaning to the piece. The combination of traditional portraiture with abstract and colorful elements exemplifies Rivers' approach to mixing high and low art, and his ability to playfully subvert historical imagery. Signed at the bottom right, this work reflects Rivers' talent for merging different mediums and styles, resulting in a dynamic and visually engaging piece.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
