Meaning & Analysis

In line with Lichtenstein’s American Indian Theme VI, the main faux wood imprinted composition of Head With Feathers And Braid is fixed upon a white background. A yellow braid pokes through its punctured upper left corner, crowned by two feathers arranged into a pyramid. As opposed to the gouged wooden indentations used in other editions of the series, the particular relief process of intaglio applied here produces defined but scarce areas of shading. Aquatint was applied in conjunction with the etching, producing areas of tone and texture rather than definite outlines.

In Head With Feathers And Braid, Lichtenstein allows the forms to exist without relying on an overarching narrative. The work is purposely made devoid of recognisable human presence. Instead, the decorative motifs are the actors of the artist’s illustrated drama.

  • 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.
