Explore the Details of this artwork, Ohhh...Alright....
Measuring 91.4 cm × 96.5 cm (36 in × 38 in), Ohhh...Alright... is derived from the June 1963 edition of Secret Hearts #88 by Arleigh Publishing Corp. (now part of D. C. Comics). After 1963, Lichtenstein's comics-based women "...look hard, crisp, brittle, and uniformly modish in appearance, as if they all came out of the same pot of makeup."  This particular example is one of several that are cropped so closely that the hair flows beyond the edges of the canvas. The image was featured in the edition of November 8, 1993 of Time, which discussed the 1993 Lichtenstein retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. It was also the image used to promote the 2012 Lichtenstein retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago. This was painted at the apex of Lichtenstein's use of enlarged dots, cropping and magnification of the original source.
