This is Roy Lichtenstein's "The Kiss", an oil painting done in 1962. This was the first of many comic strip style paintings he is now famous for, including "Drowning Girl". Lichtenstein described his pop art as "actually industrial painting" referring to his trademark use of techniques and images taken from comics, especially in the use of Benday dots. His lines are thick and defined, and the backgrounds often are nothing more than large bold colors.
