About Yellow and Green Brushstrokes – Roy Lichtenstein – Pop Art Painting
In 1965 Lichtenstein began a series of paintings of brushstrokes that have been interpreted as a commentary on the New York School of action paintings. He has since stated that he want to make a statement about the tradition of painting as we know it from the time of Italian Renaissance. Lichtenstein conceptualized the idea of the bravura brushstroke and render it in his usual cool and detached style. As he had done in the cartoons, he first executed paintings like Yellow and Green Brushstrokes as small studies which he then enlarged in an opaque projector and redrew on the surface of his canvases.
