"Roy Lichtenstein's new series of relief prints based on the theme of Entablatures - friezes of architectural ornament - represent both his most technically complex and sophisticated graphic works to date, as well as the culmination of a long involvement with the relationship between representational and abstract art - both as an iconographical theme and as a formal problem to be solved in terms of a new definition of the very concept of style. Conceived and executed over a two-year period of experimentation in collaboration with Ken Tyler, the eleven Entablatures combine traditional fine art techniques of printmaking with innovative processes borrowed from advanced industrial technology to create a new form of collaged paper relief that utilizes graphic means, normally associated with flat, two-dimensional images, to raise and depress surfaces through embossing and debossing"--Page [2].
