Offset Lithograph printed in color. Signed by the artist in pencil - Published by Leo Castelli Gallery, NYC (C.II.2) // CRAK! by Roy Lichtenstein, produced between 1963 and 1965, is a limited edition lithograph published by the Leo Castelli Gallery, NYC. This artwork embodies Lichtenstein’s signature pop art style, characterized by its use of bold, thick black outlines and vibrant primary colors—red, yellow, and black. The image captures a dramatic, comic book-inspired scene where a woman, depicted with a determined expression, aims a rifle while shouting Now, mes petits... pour LA FRANCE! The onomatopoeic text CRAK! is prominently displayed in a speech bubble, emphasizing the moment of explosive action. The lithograph freezes this dynamic scene, transforming a piece of popular culture into high art, as Lichtenstein often did. The meticulous line work and vivid hues are preserved through lithography, making this piece a striking example of his ability to elevate comic aesthetics into the realm of fine art while infusing them with social and cultural commentary.

What is appropriation?
Artwork by Shepard Fairey

What is appropriation?

Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
