Meaning & Analysis

Monet repeatedly responded to a single theme in his series of paintings and captured actual light being reflected on the surface of the facade of Rouen Cathedral. He painted the cathedral at various points of the day, in order to illustrate the transience of time.

The lineup of the prints in Lichtenstein’s Cathedral series is like sheets rolling off an assembly line or proofs from a printing press. Lichtenstein first and foremost reflects on the realities of mass reproduction in his versions of the historic monument. That being said, a varying colour scheme alludes to daytime and nighttime in Lichtenstein’s Cathedral series. Additionally, his trademark use of Ben Day dots feels like a close successor to Monet’s impressionist brushwork.

Cathedral 4 is composed of dark magenta coloured interlocking Ben Day dots, presenting a crisp and clear image of the church if regarded by the observer from afar. Similar to Cathedral 3, however, the work demands close scrutiny of the painterly gesture when considered up close.

  • Roy Lichtenstein, born in New York, 1923, is a seminal figure in the Pop Art movement, renowned for his comic book and advertisement-inspired artworks. His transformative journey from classical painter to Pop Art pioneer began with his iconic piece, Look Mickey, marking the fusion of painting with pop culture. Lichtenstein’s works, including Whaam!, Drowning Girl, and Crying Girl, blend parody and satire, challenging the boundaries between popular culture and ‘high art’. With over 5,000 pieces to his name, Lichtenstein’s enduring influence resonates in contemporary art, his works celebrated in prestigious institutions worldwide.
