Roy Lichtenstein

A Cherokee Brave
1952

This is a colorful abstract print featuring geometric and organic shapes. The central figure appears to be a stylized representation of an animal, possibly a bird, with a patterned body in orange and white, and a dark head with a white eye. The background consists of dark blue and brown areas with textured lines and shapes. There is handwritten text at the bottom of the print.
