The Mirror series perfectly epitomizes the conflict between reality and illusion that underpins Lichtenstein’s entire oeuvre. First inspired by the ways in which advertisers represented windows and mirrors on commercial brochures and in storefront posters, Lichtenstein embarked on an examination of the semiotic systems enabling the mirror to operate as a vehicle for illusion and artifice.
Introduction
The Mirror Series poignantly encapsulates Roy Lichtenstein’s capacity to engage with canonical art historical concerns through the signs and symbols of twentieth-century consumer culture and, in doing so, raise complex conceptual questions about art and illusion. Lichtenstein’s oeuvre is predicated on a semiotic investigation of the ways in which systems of representation allow us to conceptualize and interpret the world around us. Between 1969 and 1972, Lichtenstein produced a finite collection of Mirror paintings, and a series of prints, through which he engaged with the representational strategies and tropes of mirrored surfaces in art history and contemporary advertising.
In the latter half of the 1960s, Lichtenstein devoted his practice to reinterpreting icons of art history through his signature Pop Art lexicon, rooted in the aesthetic strategies of twentieth-century mass production and consumer branding. After exploring canonical art historical periods, such as Classical Antiquity, Impressionism, and Cubism, Lichtenstein considered one of the most iconic and technically challenging motifs of Western painting since the Renaissance: the mirror.
The Mirror series perfectly epitomizes the conflict between reality and illusion that underpins Lichtenstein’s entire oeuvre. First inspired by the ways in which advertisers represented windows and mirrors on commercial brochures and in storefront posters, Lichtenstein embarked on an examination of the semiotic systems enabling the mirror to operate as a vehicle for illusion and artifice. Evacuating the series of all figurative reference, Lichtenstein situated the concept of illusion as the subject of his paintings. Although Lichtenstein’s compositions are most obviously rooted in twentieth-century commercial aesthetic norms, the artist also engaged in a dialogue with canonical art historical conventions. Since the Renaissance, the mirror has appeared in the works of esteemed artists as a form of self-portraiture. Famously, artists such as Parmigianino, Jan van Eyck, and Frida Kahlo have utilized the mirror as a means to insert themselves in the picture plane and contend with ideas of self-perception. Unlike his predecessors, Lichtenstein does not reflect any specific figurative presence in his Mirrors, but instead allows for multiple possible interpretations of what lies beyond the reflective surface.
Mirrors were an important subject in Lichtenstein’s paintings and prints of the early 1970s. From late 1969 to 1972 he painted over forty canvases depicting this subject. The first print was in 1970, with Twin Mirrors for the Guggenheim Museum. In 1972 he also produced Mirror at Styria Studio, in addition to this Gemini G.E.L. series of nine prints. In the mid-seventies he took up the subject in sculpture, and he returned to it in prints as recently as 1990 with Mirror. In addition, he has often explored the related theme of reflections, incorporating them in various paintings and in several print series: Reflections (1990), Interiors (1990, published 1991), and Water Lilies (1992).
This Gemini group utilizes lithography, screenprint, line-cut, and embossing; Mirror #1 incorporates the reflective surface of silver-foil collage. Line-cut, a process of relief printing, and embossing are used in the first four prints of the series, sharpening the edges of the forms. In an interview with Lawrence Alloway, Lichtenstein noted: “You know, I am always impressed by how artificial things look—like descriptions of office furniture in newspapers. It is the most dry kind of drawing, as in the Mirrors. They really only look like mirrors if someone tells you they do. Only once you know that, they may be moved as far as possible from realism, but you want it to be taken for realism. It becomes as stylized as you can get away with, in an ordinary sense, not stylish.”
