"Woman in a wheelchair" by Roy Lichtenstein (1963) exemplifies his pioneering approach to Pop Art. Lichtenstein, an influential American artist, is known for transforming popular imagery through bold Ben-Day dots and comic strip aesthetics. This work reflects his interest in Cubism-inspired fragmentation and simplified color palettes on Canvas.
