Nude with Blue Hair (C.286) announces its artificiality immediately through colour. The figure’s vivid blue hair belongs entirely to the world of commercial printing and comic-book imagery rather than observed reality, reinforcing the stylised visual language that defined Roy Lichtenstein’s female figures from the early 1960s onward.

The cropped half-length format, direct pose and bold outline place the work among the clearest and most iconic images in the Nudes Series. Ben-Day dots structure the skin tones with mechanical precision, while the contrast between blue hair, pale flesh and black contour gives the print a striking graphic clarity.

Lichtenstein’s women were never intended as naturalistic portraits. Instead, they function as constructed types shaped by mass media, illustration and advertising. Nude with Blue Hair makes that construction fully visible, reducing the female figure to line, colour and surface with complete confidence.
