Roy Lichtenstein Seven Apple Woodcut: is a suite of color woodcuts created in 1983 by American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. In this series, Lichtenstein focuses on the simple image of an apple, transforming it through variations in color, form, and texture. Each print combines bold outlines, Ben Day dots, and the tactile qualities of the woodcut medium to create a dialogue between natural subject matter and mechanical precision. The Seven Apple Woodcut Series reflects Lichtenstein’s interest in repetition, variation, and the reinterpretation of everyday imagery through the disciplined structure of Pop Art.
