Roy Lichtenstein Entablature Series: is a collection of prints and paintings created between 1971 and 1976 by American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. In this series, Lichtenstein draws inspiration from the architectural details of classical buildings, particularly the horizontal bands and decorative elements found above columns. Using his familiar vocabulary of bold lines, Ben Day dots, and contrasting colors, he transforms these traditional motifs into sleek, modern compositions. The Entablature Series reflects Lichtenstein’s fascination with structure, repetition, and the dialogue between high art and industrial design, merging ancient architectural form with the language of modern mass production.
