of architectural ornament he had taken in New York as the starting point for his compositions. The first
Entablature paintings (1971-72) were black and white. The second group used color and were produced at
roughly the same time the Entablature series of prints were in production at Tyler Graphics Ltd., 1974 -1976.
The first discussions between Lichtenstein and Ken Tyler concerning the Entablature prints took place in May
1974. As recorded in the Tyler catalogue raisonne, technical research for the project began in September 1974
and production was completed in April 1976. Lichtenstein produced one or more colleges for each print in the
series to serve as models for the plates and screens. Both the Entablature paintings and the Entablature prints
are intimately concerned with texture - the metallic paint and sand of the paintings, the foils and embossing/
debossing techniques employed in the prints. The imagery itself - machined architectural ornament - takes
technology as its subject. As Barbara Rose suggests, "That industrialism disrupted our notion of style as much
as reproduction altered ourconception of representation appears to be the subject of Lichtenstein's Entablatures.“
