Brushstrokes 1965

"Brushstrokes" is a 1965 painting by Roy Lichtenstein, a leading figure in Pop Art. The artwork features a bold, graphic depiction of a paintbrush stroke, rendered in a distinct Ben-Day dot pattern characteristic of the artist's style. The red paint drips dramatically, emphasizing the act of creation and mimicking the impact of comic book imagery. Lichtenstein's use of commercial printing techniques and everyday subject matter challenged traditional notions of high art.
