Roy Lichtenstein's Imperfect Series of 1988 is a fascinating group of works that represents a departure from the comic book imagery that defined much of his career. In these massive works, Lichtenstein moves away from representation toward webs abstract geometric shapes filled with flat color, dots, and repetitive lines. The artist seems to be greatly influenced by Neo-Geo (short for Neo-Geometric Conceptualism), a style which gained popularity at the time these works were created.
