Historical Description

Roy Lichtenstein’s, Temple, 1964, reimagines classical architecture through the clean, stylized language of Pop Art. Bold outlines and simplified forms transform the ancient structure into a modern graphic icon, highlighting symmetry, balance, and visual rhythm. Lichtenstein reduces the temple to essential shapes that feel both timeless and freshly contemporary. Crisp, elegant, and thoughtfully composed, Temple reflects his ability to reinterpret historic subjects with clarity and a refined Pop Art sensibility.

Created in 1964, this Lichtenstein pop art Lithograph in colors is hand-signed by Roy Lichtenstein (New York, 1923 – New York, 1997) in pencil: ‘rf Lichtenstein’.  Numbered from the edition of 300, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
