Roy Lichtenstein’s, Nude with Blue Hair, State I, 1994, captures the foundational structure of the composition through bold outlines, smooth contours, and pared down graphic clarity. The figure is reduced to essential stylized shapes, emphasizing posture, rhythm, and the elegant sweep of the blue hair. With minimal detail and a clean modern aesthetic, this first state reveals the core of Lichtenstein’s approach to the nude, highlighting balance and expressive simplicity. Polished, direct, and visually striking, Nude with Blue Hair, State I offers an intimate look at the early stages of his late–period figurative work.

Created in 1994, this Lichtenstein pop art Relief print in colors is hand-signed by Roy Lichtenstein (New York, 1923 – New York, 1997) in pencil: ‘rf Lichtenstein’.  Numbered from the edition of 10, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.

Roy Lichtenstein Nudes Series: is a collection of prints created between 1994. In this series, Lichtenstein revisits the traditional subject of the female nude, translating it into his signature Pop Art vocabulary. Using bold outlines, Ben Day dots, and bright color contrasts, he combines classical themes of beauty and form with the flat, graphic style of comic imagery. The Nudes Series reflects Lichtenstein’s lifelong exploration of perception, representation, and art history, transforming one of the most iconic subjects in Western art into a modern study of abstraction and design.
