Roy Lichtenstein - Cow Going Abstract, 1985 - Triptych - Lithograph
Cow Going Abstract (1980) by Roy Lichtenstein blends abstraction with pop art. Lichtenstein transforms a simple cow into a stylized, geometric form using bold outlines, flat colors, and Ben-Day dots. The work showcases his ability to elevate everyday imagery through abstraction while maintaining his signature comic book-inspired style, blurring the lines between representation and abstraction.
