The U.S. Postal Service honors Roy Lichtenstein with a stamp featuring his iconic 1972 work Still Life with Crystal Bowl. Issued on April 24, 2023, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, this release is part of a set of five stamps showcasing different pieces by the legendary Pop Art pioneer.

Lichtenstein’s groundbreaking style—heavily influenced by comic art—helped define the Pop Art movement of the 20th century. His experimental landscapes combined bold colors, halftone dots, and inventive materials, blurring the lines between fine art and popular culture. In his later years, he revisited the landscape genre with works inspired by classical Chinese scenes, reinterpreted through his signature modernist lens.
