note:
Created for the first volume of "11 Pop Artists" in 1965, Moonscape is the first editioned piece in which Lichtenstein used Rowlex, a plastic material with shimmery properties. The artist discovered it at a novelty store and found that it offered "a sort of ready-made nature." He used it again for his first series of prints - Ten Landscapes - (see lots 12-15) in which he experimented with different combinations of his own photography, Mylar and screenprinting. As Ruth Fine notes in her introduction to the catalogue raisonné, "Whereas most of Lichtenstein's images have direct sources in printed materials - the comics, the Yellow Pages - the landscapes are wholly invented."
