Louisiana first presented Roy Lichtenstein in 1971, when he was part of the exhibition, American Art 1950-1970, again in 2004, when the museum showed his works in a comprehensive retrospective exhibition, and in 2013 as part of the exhibition, Pop Art Design.

Lichtenstein is particularly known for his paintings based on American comic strips from the 1940s and 1950s. Figures in Landscape clearly reflects Roy Lichtenstein's iconic style, and was painted after the artist visited Louisiana in the 1970s.

This is far from a landscape painting in the traditional sense. A woman in profile, who is presumably the artist's own wife, is included as a motif, along with a column and a section with a tie knot, and although the image hints at a horizon line with a view of the Øresund, a sailboat and two seagulls, the motif appears more like a chaotic puzzle that, due to the aesthetics of the printing technique and the monumental size of the image, is easiest to assemble from a distance.

Roy Lichtenstein is, along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and James Rosenquist, one of the most significant figures within the Pop Art movement. His imagery is inspired by the schematics and surfaces of printed matter with contours and dots – which is also reproduced on the poster.
