Roy Lichtenstein’s, Nude in the Woods (Black State), 1981, reimagines the traditional figure-in-landscape motif through bold black outlines and a sharply stylized Pop Art lens. With its pared-down palette, the composition highlights contrast, contour, and the interplay between the nude form and the surrounding environment. Lichtenstein reduces both figure and setting to crisp graphic elements, creating a scene that feels modern, atmospheric, and visually immediate. Striking, minimal, and thoughtfully composed, Nude in the Woods (Black State) reflects the artist’s ability to transform classic themes into refined contemporary imagery.

Created in 1981, this Lichtenstein pop art Woodcut in colors is hand-signed by Roy Lichtenstein (New York, 1923 – New York, 1997) in pencil: ‘rf Lichtenstein’.  Numbered from the edition of 8, this work is published by Original Editions, New York.
