Roy Lichtenstein The Living Room, 1990 features an interior space in which the combination of bold lines and Bend Day dots create an perspectival effect that is at once three-dimensional and flat. The right wall is angled back towards a corner where it meets with a white wall protruding from the left, but the red Ben Day dots that fill the right wall conflict with the angled perspective because they lie flat along the surface of the picture plane. Without the effect of shading, it remains unclear whether or not the room is illuminated by natural light from the window to the right or by the two recess lights in the ceiling towards the upper left corner of the image Since the source of light in this image remains ambiguous, the main focus becomes the patterns and lines that make up the individual forms in the space. The composition of Roy Lichtenstein The Living Room, 1990 was inspired by an advertisement photograph that Lichtenstein enlarged, traced, and reworked into the final image seen here.
