In the Car by Roy Lichtenstein, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh.
A member of the Pop Art movement of the 1960's Lichtenstein found influence in the American comic book which he transferred to a large scale including the use of the printing process. Comic book illustrations are made up of millions of small dots in a process known as Ben Day.
AK 47 Kalashnikov, multicolor original gun with applied Smarties by Kata Legrady from her Guns and Candies series.
Kata Legrady began a series of artworks in 2008 where she applied candies like Smarties to different weapons. She thought the candies evoked the Ben-Day technique used by Roy Lichtenstein in his comic book referencing art and by "covering" and in a sense hiding the firearm or other weapon, it loses its ferocity and power.
