I Can See the Whole Room...and There's Nobody in It!

🖼️ Painting

I Can See the Whole Room...and There's Nobody in It! is a 1961 painting by Roy Lichtenstein. It is a painting of a man looking through a peephole.

It formerly held the record for highest auction price for a Lichtenstein painting. The work is based on a William Overgard-drawn comics panel from a Steve Roper cartoon. Lichtenstein's derivation augments the presentation of the narrative and expands the use of color in the image.

As with the original the image employs the theme of vision, and focuses specifically on mechanized vision as well as monocularity.
