Roy Lichtenstein’s, Bull V, 1973, moves decisively into abstraction, reducing the bull to a network of bold outlines, angular shapes, and refined graphic elements. The composition breaks the familiar form into a modern arrangement that emphasizes structure, rhythm, and visual clarity over representation. Lichtenstein’s streamlined approach transforms the subject into a contemporary exploration of shape and balance, highlighting the conceptual evolution of the series. Clean, dynamic, and thoughtfully distilled, Bull V demonstrates his mastery of turning traditional motifs into striking abstract imagery.

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.
