The portfolio takes as its conceptual source two of the most celebrated series in the history of Impressionism — Monet’s \u003cem\u003eRouen Cathedral\u003c\/em\u003e series and his \u003cem\u003eHaystacks\u003c\/em\u003e — and subjects them to Lichtenstein’s signature graphic transformation: the Impressionist dissolution of form into light and colour rebuilt as a tight, mechanical grid of Ben-Day dots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe conceit is characteristically precise and characteristically witty. Monet’s \u003cem\u003eCathedral\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHaystacks\u003c\/em\u003e series were themselves investigations of how a single subject changes across different conditions of light, time, and atmosphere — serial studies in perception and representation. Lichtenstein takes this already reflexive project and pushes it one step further: his dots impose a photomechanical grid over the Impressionist surface, replacing the individual brushstroke — the mark of the artist’s direct physical presence — with the impersonal, reproducible unit of commercial printing. What Monet dissolved into atmospheric shimmer, Lichtenstein resolidifies into pure graphic structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe thirteen prints traverse the full chromatic range of the two source series — red, yellow, blue-red, black-white, blue-black, red-on-red, coral, yellow, pink-red, olive, lavender, periwinkle, deep navy — each one a distinct colour proposition within the same formal system, the portfolio as a whole functioning as both a homage and a deconstruction of Monet’s serial method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePublished by Gemini G.E.L. — the Los Angeles workshop that worked with Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Frank Stella on their most important print projects — and printed by Blair Litho, Los Angeles.
