Publisher's Synopsis
In Greene Street Mural, Roy Lichtenstein layered pervasive images from his pop lexicon-marble- patterned composition notebooks, cartoonish brushstrokes, and Swiss cheese-with motifs, including the Neo-Geo tropes of his Perfect/Imper- fect paintings; faux woodblock shading patterns; and office items, including filing cabinets, envelopes, and folding chairs. Using stunning color photographs, interviews, and essays, this new book presents Lichtenstein's almost 100-foot-long mural, which epitomized the artist's ability to absorb anything and everything that caught his eye into his constantly evolving artistic idiom.
