Sleek, thoughtful, and visually engaging, Bull I marks the starting point of a dynamic evolution within the series.

Roy Lichtenstein Bull Profile: is a collection of works created in 1973 by American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. In this series, Lichtenstein reinterprets Pablo Picasso’s famous Bull lithographs, transforming the gradual abstraction of the animal into his own graphic and stylized language. Each print presents a variation of the bull’s form, moving from realistic depiction to complete abstraction through the use of bold lines, flat colors, and Ben Day dots. The series highlights Lichtenstein’s ongoing exploration of perception, reduction, and the relationship between art history and modern visual culture.
