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.
