Roy Lichtenstein — Cow Going Abstract
Roy Lichtenstein

Cow Going Abstract

A bold and dynamic series by Roy Lichtenstein, *Cow Going Abstract* exemplifies the artist's iconic Pop Art style through a sequential deconstruction of a cow's form into increasingly abstracted geometric shapes and Ben-Day dots. Published by Fratelli Alinari in Florence, this numbered edition (59/150) showcases Lichtenstein's fascination with the tension between representation and abstraction, drawing influence from Theo van Doesburg's similar compositional experiments. The framed works demonstrate the artist's signature graphic precision, reducing a familiar subject into pure line, color, and pattern.

Medium
one bears signature and all numbered 59/150 in pencil (the edition was at least 450), published by Fratelli Alinari, Florence, all framed.
