CRAK! is considered one of Roy Lichtenstein’s first true Pop Art works drawing on comic strip imagery. CRAK! is a military themed artwork that depicts the cliché war stereotype disseminated through mass media. The woman wearing a red beret shooting a rifle and the stacked yellow sandbags are appropriated from Bob Haney and Jack Abel’s Star Spangled War Stories #102 comic book. Lichtenstein cropped and isolated the female figure to emphasize the drama. The artwork is named for its graphic text “CRAK!” which overlays the shooting rifle. Her stylized text bubble reads, “Now, mes petits, pour la France!” inserting meaning and a reason for her battle. The woman is rendered with monocular vision, where one eye is opened and the other obscured, a motif also seen in Lichtenstein’s other comic works. This giclée art print reproduction has been produced on heavy weight 100% cotton rag art paper using archival quality inks resulting in a superior print suitable for museum or gallery display.

Roy Lichtenstein (1923 - 1997) was one of most influential figures in the pop art movement. His style largely derived from comic strips, portrayed the trivialization of culture endemic in contemporary American life. Using bright, strident colours and techniques borrowed from the printing industry, he ironically incorporated mass-produced emotions and objects into highly sophisticated references to art history.
