“The Head” is a striking sculpture that amalgamates various colors and forms to create an abstract representation. The piece features a prominent use of bold primary colors, including red, blue, yellow, and black, arranged in distinct geometric shapes and patterns. The red portions are dotted, reminiscent of Lichtenstein’s signature style influenced by comic strips, while the blue and yellow components are rendered in flowing lines and curves.
