Roy Lichtenstein – Expressionist Head
In the 1980s and 1990s, Lichtenstein created painted bronze sculptures that were based on his earlier paintings. Expressionist Head was among the earliest of these sculputural adaptations.[1] The sculpture is composed of painted and patinated bronze with painted wooden base.[2]
Expressionist Head reflects rootings of German Expressionist prints because of its “angular anatomies and bold contours”, but Lichtenstein swapped out his characteristic Ben-Day dots with hatch marks to in his favored primary colors. Like many Lichtenstein sculptures, this set is essentially two-dimensional rather than volumetric.[3]

Penone’s aesthetic proposition springs from observations on natural phenomena, with a bearing particularly on our interaction with our environment. The nature of sensory perception is crucial for his proposition, especially through touch and sight – not surprisingly, given his choice of media. He has thus been consistently preoccupied with the eyes and skin, locations of interface between the human body and all that surrounds it. (G.
