Meaning & Analysis

In Bull V, the metamorphosis is nearly complete.All shapes presented in this work are angular and mechanical. In addition to the block colouring and comic book style disposition, the work has an underlying comedic tone. The composition has been dislocated from the centre and pushed towards the right, leaving an empty white space in the left corner of the canvas. The corner is framed by one bright yellow and one light blue line, both abruptly ending in dark blue shapes. These formations resemble the hindlegs and hooves of the cattle, implying that the bull has been flipped to its side.

Lichtenstein deliberately chose to execute the prints in the Bulls series using a combination of lithography, screen print and line cut. The progression from naturalism to radical simplification is intimately associated with these printing processes, mirroring the trajectory of the series as a whole.

  • Roy Lichtenstein, born in New York, 1923, is a seminal figure in the Pop Art movement, renowned for his comic book and advertisement-inspired artworks. His transformative journey from classical painter to Pop Art pioneer began with his iconic piece, Look Mickey, marking the fusion of painting with pop culture. Lichtenstein’s works, including Whaam!, Drowning Girl, and Crying Girl, blend parody and satire, challenging the boundaries between popular culture and ‘high art’. With over 5,000 pieces to his name, Lichtenstein’s enduring influence resonates in contemporary art, his works celebrated in prestigious institutions worldwide.
