Study for right panel of "Cow Triptych (Cow Going Abstract)" 1974

This is a study for the right panel of Roy Lichtenstein's "Cow Triptych (Cow Going Abstract)" (1974). It is a study in black and white crayon and colored pencil on paper, featuring a bold composition of intersecting lines and geometric shapes. Lichtenstein's signature Ben-Day dots are used in the blue and black sections of the work. The study exemplifies the artist's playful engagement with commercial art, pop culture, and abstract forms. This study was created for the right panel of the large-scale triptych "Cow Triptych (Cow Going Abstract)," which is a humorous and abstract take on the typical depiction of the farm animal.
