The artwork titled “Weisman Award (Yellow Brushstroke)” was created by the eminent artist Roy Lichtenstein in 1991. Falling under the Pop Art movement, this piece belongs to the genre of sculpture and is part of Lichtenstein’s notable “Brushstrokes” series.
The artwork features a dynamic, bold form that captures the essence of a swift brushstroke, rendered in striking yellow encased in a contrasting black outline. The fluidity and vigor of the brushstroke are captured in a three-dimensional form, which exemplifies Lichtenstein’s iconic style. The exaggerated contours and vibrant hue highlight the artist’s fascination with the aesthetics of commercial art and comic strips, translated into a sculptural medium. Resting on a simple, rectangular base, the piece merges the energy of a painted brushstroke with the solidity of sculpture, offering a unique commentary on both mediums. This work stands as a testament to Lichtenstein’s innovative approach and his influence in the Pop Art movement.
