Roy Lichtenstein Bull II (C. 117) For Sale

About this work

Lichtenstein's engagement with art history — through his Bull Profile, Modern Paintings, and Entablature series — demonstrates the breadth and intellectual seriousness of his practice. By appropriating the formal strategies of Cubism, architectural ornament, and art historical movement into his Ben-Day dot vocabulary, he created works that are simultaneously homage, parody, and genuine formal investigation. This work shows Lichtenstein at his most self-aware and formally inventive — using his instantly recognizable visual language to engage with the history of the medium he was simultaneously transforming.
