The artwork entitled “Yellow and White Brushstrokes” was created by Roy Lichtenstein in 1965. This piece is a part of the Pop Art movement and embodies the figurative genre. It belongs to the “Brushstrokes” series, showcasing Lichtenstein’s characteristic comic strip-inspired style.
In the artwork, bold yellow, black, and white brushstrokes dominate the canvas, with a series of stylized, graphic drips extending from the bottom of the strokes. The brushstrokes are set against a background composed of a dotted pattern, reminiscent of the Ben-Day dots used in comic book printing. The composition displays the artist’s adept manipulation of form and color, reflecting the Pop Art fascination with commercial art techniques and mass production aesthetics.
