Roy Lichtenstein Modern Head #5, 1970, C.95 is a bold black and white design of an abstracted face that is part of Lichtenstein's Modern Head series. One of several prints the artist made of deconstructed figure's faces, this work highlights Lichtenstein's skill in working with contrast and negative space. The composition is perfectly balanced, divided diagonally, with most of the white of the work in the upper right half and the lower left half filled with mostly black. The design utilizes both sharp angles and straight lines as well as curvy, organic shapes. The effect is visually interesting to the viewer and guides the eye around the composition effectively.
