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.
