An Abram's Facsimile Reproduction Sketchbook edited by Constance and Jack Glenn. Laid-in pamphlet with a text by Constance Glenn which explains that "The term "sketchbook" is hardly reflective of the wide variety of formats artists choose to record their initial inspirations, their pictorial commentary, their highly personal notations, or exacting blueprints for future works. The manner of both creating and keeping such sketches offers vital insight into the processes an artist pursues in search of expression. Here Roy Lichtenstein admits us to his private world and discusses the role of his sketches in the larger context of his art. An artist whose widely recognized symbols and industrial/mechanical techniques naturally obscured the possible existence of sumptuous, miniature pictures, Lichtenstein was already an established star in the Pop art firmament before it became generally known that he always worked from meticulous, finished sketches. During a distinguished career of almost three decades, he has seldom deviated from the practice of using these sketches to generate paintings, prints, and sculpture in ongoing, and discrete, series."
