In June 1990, Lichtenstein (1923-1997) began work on the same-titled screenprint series on stainless steel, revisiting his homage to the Impressionist artist Claude Monet which he started in the late 1960s with his Cathedral and Haystacks series. Additionally, Frederic Tuten, writer and friend of the artist, said of the project "One might see this strategy as the culmination of Lichtenstein's long meditations on reflections, which began in the earliest of his Pop Art work," (see Corlett 261-66).
