Roy Lichtenstein Brushstroke Figures: is a collection of prints created in 1989 by American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. In this series, Lichtenstein expands on his earlier brushstroke motif, combining abstract gesture with stylized human forms. Each print features dynamic compositions where sweeping brushstrokes become figures, merging motion, color, and line into a playful yet structured balance. Using his characteristic Ben Day dots, bold contours, and vivid color contrasts, Lichtenstein transforms the energy of painting into a controlled graphic language. The Brushstroke Figures Series captures his continuing exploration of art’s expressive potential within the boundaries of mechanical precision.
