Head with Braid and Feathers 1979

"Head with Braid and Feathers" is a bold and graphic work by American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, created in 1979. Lichtenstein's iconic style is evident in the simplified lines, bright colours and Ben-Day dots, reminiscent of comic book illustrations. The work features a striking composition of a yellow braid, feathers, and a woodgrain pattern against a red background, emphasizing a playful and energetic style typical of Lichtenstein's pop art. The artist's use of exaggerated features and contrasting colours invites viewers to engage with the playful and humorous aspect of the artwork.
