Created in 1982, I Love Liberty transforms one of America’s most recognizable monuments into Lichtenstein’s unmistakable Pop language. The Statue of Liberty emerges dramatically through bold black forms, brilliant yellow and a field of blue diagonal lines, reducing an iconic national symbol to a powerful arrangement of color and geometry. Both patriotic and distinctly contemporary, the work is among Lichtenstein’s most immediately recognizable graphic interpretations of American imagery.
