American Indian Encounters will feature an extraordinary selection of virtually unknown works by Roy Lichtenstein (1923 - 1997), one of the best-known American artists to emerge after 1960. It will bring together over thirty paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures, including a rare sketchbook of American Indian design motifs, thereby juxtaposing two lesser-known periods of Lichtenstein's art-the Cubist abstractions based on 19th century American history paintings of Native American themes, and the "Amerindian" Pop-style works from 1979-1981.
