Meaning & Analysis

Reflections On Brushstrokes acts as a parody of the value placed on the traditional artistic gesture of brushwork throughout art history. Lichtenstein challenged long-standing conventions of artistic practice by incorporating the brushstroke motif in several of his printed series. As opposed to a freestyle stroke at the hands of modern artists, the sweeps in this work are reproduced systematically and precisely through industrial printing processes. The curving contours are juxtaposed against the rigid straight lines of the glass, forming a jarring contrast between the different layers in the composition. The work draws attention to the visual effects of reflection and the refraction of light as well as the multitude of different patterns, colours, and forms.

  • Roy Lichtenstein, born in New York, 1923, is a seminal figure in the Pop Art movement, renowned for his comic book and advertisement-inspired artworks. His transformative journey from classical painter to Pop Art pioneer began with his iconic piece, Look Mickey, marking the fusion of painting with pop culture. Lichtenstein’s works, including Whaam!, Drowning Girl, and Crying Girl, blend parody and satire, challenging the boundaries between popular culture and ‘high art’. With over 5,000 pieces to his name, Lichtenstein’s enduring influence resonates in contemporary art, his works celebrated in prestigious institutions worldwide.
