Associated Names
Roy Lichtenstein

Artist, American, 1923 - 1997

This print features an abstract composition made of bold, geometric shapes and lines that give the impression of a person in a tuxedo playing a saxophone. We see the torso of the person, and one of their hands is resting on the instrument. Circular forms intersect with angular lines in a color palette of red, yellow, white, and dark blue. Some shapes are solid, while others are filled with small dots. The text 'Aspen Winter Jazz' is at the top, and ‘Feb 26 '67' is at the bottom of the print.
