Roy Lichtenstein — Entablature X
Roy Lichtenstein

Entablature X

Created in 1976, Roy Lichtenstein's *Entablature X* is a striking screenprint and lithograph in colours with collage and embossing on BFK Rives paper, showcasing the artist's fascination with architectural ornamentation. The work reproduces the decorative friezes and classical motifs found on American commercial buildings of the early twentieth century, translating stone and marble into bold, graphic form. Lichtenstein's signature precision and mechanical aesthetic strip the architectural detail of its grandeur, transforming it into a cool, detached, and distinctly modern composition.
