About this work
Roy Lichtenstein's *The River* (C. 214) is from his celebrated **Landscapes series (1985)** — a pivotal late-career departure from the comic-book imagery that defined his reputation, demonstrating his mastery of a genre rarely associated with Pop Art. The series applies his signature visual vocabulary — bold outlines, Ben-Day dots, flat areas of primary colour — to the motifs of nineteenth-century landscape painting, creating works that simultaneously honour and subvert art historical tradition. ## Roy Lichtenstein The River For Sale *The River* (C. 214) is a lithograph from Lichtenstein's 1985 Landscapes series, published in a limited edition. The Landscapes prints are among the most collectible works in his print catalogue — praised by critics for demonstrating the full range of his conceptual ambition — and are actively sought by collectors who have built collections around his canonical subjects. Roy Lichtenstein Landscapes prints for sale command strong secondary market results owing to their rarity, their art historical significance as a late-career statement, and their visual impact as autonomous works. The series references Monet's Haystacks and other canonical landscape traditions, connecting Lichtenstein's Pop practice directly to European modernism. At Guy Hepner Gallery, Roy Lichtenstein prints for sale including works from the Landscapes series are sourced with full provenance and Roy Lichtenstein Foundation documentation.

Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997) is the defining figure of American Pop Art and one of the most actively traded artists on the post-war and contemporary market. His bold graphic language — Ben-Day dots, black outlines, primary palettes drawn from comic books and advertising — is among the most instantly recognisable in twentieth-century art. Born in New York City, he was exhibited by Leo Castelli Gallery from 1962 and worked until his death in September 1997, producing one of the most extensively documented print catalogues of any artist of his generation.
