Roy Lichtenstein

Entablature X, from Entablature Series

A masterful example of Lichtenstein's exploration of architectural motifs, this work depicts a highly stylized fragment of a classical building's decorative frieze, rendered with the artist's signature bold lines and Ben-Day dot patterns. The print employs a striking combination of screenprint, lithograph, collage, and embossing techniques to recreate the ornamental details of entablature moldings with a cool, mechanical precision. The interplay of texture and pattern transforms a traditional architectural element into a distinctly modern, Pop Art statement.

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