From the early nineties Lichtenstein was inspired by advertisements for furnishings and designer products, which he found in phone books or magazines, to create a series of
portraits of modern domestic interiors. The flat image of the photographic reproduction was emphasized by a concise vocabulary, made up of essential lines and flat
fields of colour with a markedly graphic matrix to exalt the industrial origin of the furniture and products represented. Chiaroscuro is also rendered with stippling or hatching
