“The entablature is an architectural element resembling a band or molding lying horizontally above the columns of a building. Originating in the architecture of ancient Greece, the motif was also abundantly represented in America in the early twentieth-century Beaux-Arts and Greco-Roman revival style used for public buildings such as museums and libraries. Lichtenstein’s Entablatures comprised 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.” [source]
