This retrospective is really good to see. In later Lichtenstein there is a lot of experimenting and when they are good they are great, then some fall away. But over all the show holds up well for me. I like the rooms of large scale paintings.

New Contemporary Wing, Chicago Art Institute
Never realized there were so many green paintings out there but the Museums all have them up.
The nice thing about these regional Museums is that they are a bit more moble in the ideas they present.
This is interesting near the large Picasso below.
Similar to the Murray in Kansas City.
Hot off the Press.
A classic de Kooning.
This is a really important de Kooning.
This is a really interesting Picasso with a great presence.

so my title is misleading. I got interested in the relation of the Parflech designs to contemporary painting on this trip-- And it sort of ballooned--
