Page "Roy Lichtenstein" Paragraph 24

Also in 1970, Lichtenstein purchased a former carriage house in Southampton, Long Island, built a studio on the property, and spent the rest of the 1970s in relative seclusion.

In the 1970s and 1980s, his style began to loosen and he expanded on what he had done before.

Lichtenstein began a series of Mirrors paintings in 1969.

By 1970, while continuing on the Mirrors series, he started work on the subject of entablatures.

The Entablatures consisted of a first series of paintings from 1971 – 72, followed by a second series in 1974-76, and the publication of a series of relief prints in 1976.

He produced a series of " Artists Studios " which incorporated elements of his previous work.

A notable example being Artist's Studio, Look Mickey ( 1973, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis ) which incorporates five other previous works, fitted into the scene.
