Richard Pettibone’s 1972 "Untitled" is a screenprint on paper featuring a repetitive pattern of cow heads. The image is characterized by a bold, graphic style with the cow’s head in shades of brown and orange, set against a light blue background. This use of repetition and simplification is typical of Pop Art, a movement that celebrated consumer culture and mass media, often referencing advertising and imagery from popular culture. Pettibone's work is a playful commentary on this, referencing everyday imagery in a witty and minimalist manner.
