Lichtenstein's work is interesting commentary on contemporary graphics, likeable and decorative, created by a talent absorbed in graphic media. Maybe "Nudes in a Mirror" is commentary on paintings prior, but it's hard to imagine anyone so bothered by any of it that she would slash the canvas. Just because someone does not choose that style of work, because there are lots of other things to think about beside graphics (lip gloss for example) would hardly be a reason for such rage. The story does not hold my attention in any fundamental way. I never saw the painting by Lichtenstein “Nudes in a Mirror”, so I don’t know its bearing on the story.
