Roy Lichtenstein’s, Yellow Brushstroke, 1985, reinterprets the spontaneous gesture of a painted stroke through the clean, deliberate language of Pop Art. With bold outlines, vibrant color, and a polished graphic style, Lichtenstein transforms the energetic sweep of a brushstroke into a controlled, iconic form. The work plays with the contrast between expressive mark-making and mechanical precision, turning a fleeting gesture into a striking, contemporary image. Dynamic, modern, and visually impactful, Yellow Brushstroke highlights Lichtenstein’s ongoing exploration of art-making itself as subject.
