Offset Lithograph printed in color. Signed by the artist in pencil - Published by Leo Castelli Gallery, NYC (C.II.2) // CRAK! by Roy Lichtenstein, produced between 1963 and 1965, is a limited edition lithograph published by the Leo Castelli Gallery, NYC. This artwork embodies Lichtenstein’s signature pop art style, characterized by its use of bold, thick black outlines and vibrant primary colors—red, yellow, and black. The image captures a dramatic, comic book-inspired scene where a woman, depicted with a determined expression, aims a rifle while shouting Now, mes petits... pour LA FRANCE! The onomatopoeic text CRAK! is prominently displayed in a speech bubble, emphasizing the moment of explosive action. The lithograph freezes this dynamic scene, transforming a piece of popular culture into high art, as Lichtenstein often did. The meticulous line work and vivid hues are preserved through lithography, making this piece a striking example of his ability to elevate comic aesthetics into the realm of fine art while infusing them with social and cultural commentary.

What is late modernism?
Artwork by Roy Lichtenstein

What is late modernism?

Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
