Lichtenstein Kiss III (1000 pcs)

This 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle captures a couple locked in a close-up kiss, framed in profile like a panel torn straight from a comic strip. The man, with dark hair and dressed in a navy blue suit and red tie, tilts his head toward a woman with an abundance of curly blonde hair. Their clasped hands appear in the foreground of the scene. Behind them, a vivid red background is crossed by black lines radiating outward in a fan pattern, a dramatic effect typical of 1960s comics. Thick black outlines and bold flat colors give the whole scene the unmistakable visual punch of pop art.

This image reproduces Kiss III, a canvas painted in 1962 by American artist Roy Lichtenstein, a leading figure of the pop art movement. The work belongs to a series of paintings inspired by the romance comic strips that were hugely popular at the time, in which the artist isolated a single emotionally charged moment and turned it into a large-scale composition with crisp lines and saturated colors.

Celebrated for turning comic book aesthetics into contemporary art, Lichtenstein remains one of the most reproduced painters in the world. This Kiss III 1000-piece puzzle, published by Piatnik, lets you patiently piece this pop art icon back together, one piece at a time.

DIMENSIONS: once assembled, this puzzle measures 68.6 x 48.3 cm.
