Reverie (1965) de Roy Lichtenstein est une sérigraphie historique qui illustre la transformation par l'artiste de l'imagerie de la bande dessinée en art. Publiée dans le cadre de l'influent portfolio 11 Pop Artists, cette œuvre est tirée à 200 exemplaires, cette impression étant numérotée 121/200. En outre, une cinquantaine d'épreuves en chiffres romains et un petit nombre d'épreuves d'artiste ont également été tirées. Le portfolio, qui réunissait des figures émergentes telles que Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol et Tom Wesselmann, a joué un rôle essentiel dans l'affirmation de la place du Pop Art dans le canon de l'art contemporain.





Reverie dépeint une héroïne pensive et stylisée, rendue avec les points Ben-Day, les contours audacieux et les couleurs primaires caractéristiques de Lichtenstein, capturant à la fois le mélodrame et la retenue des récits de bandes dessinées. Le titre rappelle la chanson nostalgique Stardust de Hoagie Carmichael (1927), en particulier le vers "The melody haunts my reverie" (la mélodie hante ma rêverie), soulignant l'humeur nostalgique véhiculée par le regard lointain du modèle. Lichtenstein lui-même considérait ses contributions à 11 Pop Artists comme ses premières véritables gravures d'art, l'aboutissement d'années de maîtrise de multiples techniques d'impression, de l'eau-forte à la sérigraphie.





Les impressions de cette édition sont aujourd'hui conservées dans de grandes collections publiques, dont l'Art Institute of Chicago, la National Gallery of Art, le Museum of Modern Art et le Smithsonian American Art Museum, affirmant ainsi son importance historique et artistique.
