Roy Lichtenstein Cathedral: is a series of prints created in 1969 by American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. Inspired by Claude Monet’s Rouen Cathedral paintings, these works reimagine the Impressionist exploration of light and color through a distinctly modern, mechanical lens. Using his signature Ben-Day dots, bold outlines, and vibrant color contrasts, Lichtenstein translates the shifting luminosity of Monet’s brushwork into the crisp precision of commercial printmaking. The series reflects Lichtenstein’s ongoing interest in perception, reproduction, and the transformation of traditional art subjects into the visual language of mass media.
