Roy Lichtenstein

Entablature II, from Entablature series

A monumental architectural frieze is rendered in Lichtenstein's signature graphic style, featuring the bold geometric patterns and mechanical precision characteristic of his Pop Art aesthetic. The work captures the classical decorative elements of an entablature through a striking interplay of repeating motifs, metallic tones, and regimented patterns that blur the line between ancient architectural ornamentation and modern commercial design. The combination of screenprint, lithograph, and collage with embossing adds a rich textural dimension to the composition, elevating the printed surface and reinforcing the tension between classical grandeur and contemporary mass reproduction.

Medium
Screenprint, lithograph and collage in colors with embossing, on Rives BFK paper, with full margins,
