The artwork “Brushstrokes” by Roy Lichtenstein, created in 1966 and executed using graphite, tusche, and paper, is a prominent piece within the Abstract Art movement. It belongs to the “Brushstrokes” series and is currently housed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US. The dimensions of this abstract artwork are 56.5 x 76.2 cm.
In the artwork, bold, black, sweeping brushstroke representations dominate the composition, creating a dynamic and flowing visual effect. The thick, flowing lines are rendered with precision, showcasing Lichtenstein’s characteristic use of graphic lines and forms. The inclusion of dotted areas in the background adds a textural contrast to the bold strokes, while the simplistic yet striking nature of the forms speaks to the essence of abstract expression. This piece encapsulates the movement and energy associated with the act of painting, distilled into a refined and stylized depiction.
