The prints of Roy Lichtenstein
a catalogue raisonné, 1948-1993
by Mary Lee Corlett
Lichtenstein, who devoted himself seriously to printmaking earlier than any other major artist of his generation (he made his first two prints in 1948 - a lithograph and a woodcut - and by 1950 had added etching and screenprint to his repertoire), is widely acknowledged as one of the most important printmakers of our time. Printmaking often provides him with an arena in which he is at his most experimental, apt to try something new, especially with materials.
The Prints of Roy Lichtenstein catalogues and reproduces each of the artist's prints, as well as original posters, book and magazine illustrations, announcements, etc., 350 in all. Every work that is color in the original is reproduced in color. The volume's reference value is enhanced by a Chronology, Exhibition History, Bibliography, Concordances, and Index.

Work Description
"Roy Lichtenstein held a preeminent place among vanguard American artists for four decades. He proved to be among the most important and enduring of the Pop artists who emerged in the early 1960s. His major themes, usually used ironically, include art based on printed imagery such as the comics and advertisements; art based on art and architecture of a wide variety of styles; and reflective and reflected notions of hackneyed images in a set style.
His formal language consistently involves black outlines, stripes, dots, brushstrokes, flat fields, foils, and such schematic patterns as wood grain and canvas weave." "The Prints of Roy Lichtenstein catalogues and reproduces all of the artist's prints, as well as original posters, book and magazine illustrations, announcements, etc."--BOOK JACKET.
