Note: This work is from the Six Still Life series. Although he had been doing “Still Life” from the time of his early Pop Paintings and prints Lichtenstein explicitly explored still life as a subject in a group of paintings executed in the mid-seventies (Especially from 1972 to 1974),. The term “Still Life” appeared in the titles of these works which often included a brief and matter vow fact description of the contents of the image such as “Still life with Goldfish bowl” and “Painting of a Golf Ball”. The prints of the Six Still Lives series suggest a capsule summary of the subject representing several different “types” from food (Yellow Still Life) to objets of Art (The present work), to objects grouped together thematically (Still Life with Lobster). Other Still Life prints from this period include “Still Life with Picasso” and “Untitled Still Life” - Corlett 134)
