content: The photographic material in this sub-subseries was taken primarily by studio staff as part of a record-keeping system and as documentation of works in progress or soon after completion. Some photographs were taken by Lichtenstein and were used by the artist as another way of looking at the work in progress. Additionally, many slides and Polaroids were used as part of Lichtenstein's process of projecting collages or slides of drawings onto canvases for final works. Lichtenstein first used the Postoscope opaque projector for this purpose, then switched to a 35mm slide projector around 1970. Slides were primarily taken by Robert McKeever, who worked as Lichtenstein's studio assistant from November 1983-1997.
