Modern Head #2 (1970) is a striking example of Roy Lichtenstein’s exploration of stylized portraiture through the lens of modernist abstraction. With bold lines, sharp geometry, and a sculptural sense of form, the work reimagines the human head as an architectural construct—futuristic and iconic. Part of his celebrated Modern Head series, this piece demonstrates Lichtenstein’s ability to bridge figuration and abstraction while maintaining his unmistakable graphic language. A powerful statement in both concept and design, Modern Head #2 is a significant addition to any serious collection of postwar American art.
