Professor Aulus Saunders Receives Lichtenstein Resignation in Alternate Reality, Spring 1960 Print

I had an exhibition of 34 paintings at SUNY Oswego in October, 2019. All works were completed in a 6 month period, imaginatively depicting the brief tenure of Roy Lichtenstein at Oswego State Teachers College (1957 - 1960) along the lake Ontario shoreline of Upstate, NY. This is one of the paintings. Aulus Saunders was the Art Department head, and hired Roy out of Cleveland—a big deal for the Lichtenstein family. Three years later, Roy takes another position in New Jersey. Oh, that must have made Dr. Saunders ticked off to distraction! I also wrote and published a book of research and imagination for the exhibition.
