Studies for "Entablature" 1975

"Studies for 'Entablature'" is a 1975 work by Roy Lichtenstein. It features two studies for the artist's larger painting "Entablature," a work in which he incorporates classical architectural elements in his signature Pop Art style. This study utilizes simple lines and black and white renderings of the architectural details to create a preliminary design for the final work. The use of bold, geometric shapes and a clear, graphic style is characteristic of Lichtenstein's work.
