Lot Essay


“He presents the basic elements of a landscape, its shapes, its volumes, its light and shade, its reflections, but gives us a shorthand version of it...He has changed organic forms into geometric ones and has created a highly structured image from a less orderly reality.”
—D. WALDMAN, Roy Lichtenstein, New York 1993, p. 131
