Bull I 1973

"Bull I," a 1973 work by Roy Lichtenstein, is a black and white print that embodies the artist's signature Pop Art style. The image depicts a stylized bull, its form rendered in bold lines reminiscent of comic book illustrations, a recurring theme in Lichtenstein's work. This technique, known as Ben-Day dots, creates a sense of graphic flatness and adds a layer of playful irony to the subject matter, challenging the traditional notions of art and high culture. The piece is a powerful example of Lichtenstein's ability to elevate everyday imagery to fine art, capturing the visual language of popular culture.
