Roy Lichtenstein’s Pop lexicon is characterized by his tongue-in-cheek parodies of popular advertising and comics, as in Cold Shoulder, which was inspired by the DC Comics anthology Girls’ Romances (1950–71). Lichtenstein’s precisely rendered compositions disguise the painstakingly handmade nature of his work. Mimicking the Benday-dot mechanical printing process, the artist hand-painted the matrix of dots that here constitute the woman’s skin.
