Mary Lee Corlett: “The prints of Roy Lichtenstein” (Catalogue Raisonne) Number 295
Artwork description

Original Lithograph and screenprint in colours, 1996, on Lanaquarelle, paper, signed in pencil, dated & numbered, the full sheet, on Lanaquarelle watercolour paper, with the publisher's blindstamp, Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles, and their inkstamp and workshop number verso.

Note: Roy Lichtenstein’s tongue-in-cheek humour is ever-present in this work as it makes a pun about the 15th-century Venetian school and the popular window coverings. Artists such as Titian and Veronese were considered to have brought a primacy of colour over the line of the artwork of this period. Lichtenstein subverts this with a cool palette and his recognisable bold outlines.
