Description

Created in 1985 as part of his celebrated Landscapes Series, The Sower demonstrates Roy Lichtenstein’s mastery in blending modern abstraction with art historical reference. Employing a combination of lithography, woodcut, and screenprint, the artist reinterprets Van Gogh’s iconic Sower through his distinct Pop Art vocabulary of Ben-Day dots, bold contours, and flattened planes of color. This dynamic synthesis of techniques highlights Lichtenstein’s fascination with industrial processes and their capacity to transform traditional imagery into contemporary visual language. The work juxtaposes natural and mechanical worlds — an homage to both the pastoral gesture of sowing and the mechanical reproduction that defines modern art. Published by Gemini G.E.L., The Sower stands as a significant example of Lichtenstein’s late works, where technical innovation meets conceptual irony, reaffirming his position as one of the defining voices of postwar American art.
