Look Mickey by Roy Lichtenstein is a rare steel engraving that carries the iconic essence of the Pop Art movement. This masterpiece is a testament to the innovative approach, where he parodied and celebrated the elements of popular culture, and in this case, a beloved moment featuring Disney icons.
In this remarkable artwork created in 1961, Lichtenstein directly transposed a scene from the 1960 book Donald Duck: Lost and Found. The image captures a comical fishing scene with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse standing on a pier. Donald, his fishing pole raised above his head, mistakenly thinks he has hooked a big fish, only to discover he has snagged his coattail. Mickey Mouse stands behind, stifling a giggle at his amusing blunder. The text LOOK MICKEY, IVE HOOKED A BIG ONE hangs over Donald’s unsuspecting head, adding a layer of whimsy to the artwork.
Professionally framed to preserve its exceptional quality and detail, this piece is a memorable artistic creation and a significant reflection of the pop culture era.Â
This unique artwork carries a printed signature with an Original Steel Certificate of Authenticity and a BHP Collectibles Certificate of Authenticity, assuring you of its origin.
