Roy Lichtenstein Bull Head: is a group of prints created in 1973 by American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. In this series, Lichtenstein focuses on the image of a bull’s head, reducing it to simple shapes and patterns that blend abstraction with recognizable form. Through his use of bold outlines, Ben Day dots, and vibrant color contrasts, he transforms a traditional symbol of strength into a study of visual balance and design.
