Roy Lichtenstein — Brushstroke
Roy Lichtenstein

Brushstroke

A bold and dynamic work by Roy Lichtenstein, *Brushstroke* transforms the spontaneous gesture of a painted mark into a precisely rendered, graphic image rendered in screenprint. Using his signature flat colors, bold black outlines, and Ben-Day dot patterns, Lichtenstein elevates the mundane act of painting into a subject of Pop Art commentary. Printed in colors on heavy wove paper with full margins, this work masterfully blurs the line between fine art and commercial reproduction.
