“Yellow Brushstroke II” is an artwork created by the prominent artist Roy Lichtenstein in 1965. This piece belongs to the Pop Art movement, which Lichtenstein is famously associated with, and is part of the “Brushstrokes” series. The artwork is categorized under the figurative genre.
The artwork showcases a bold and expansive brushstroke rendered in vibrant yellow hues, complemented by stark black outlines. The brushstroke itself appears meticulously controlled, yet it embodies the dynamic and spontaneous spirit typically attributed to actual brushstrokes. Layered atop a background featuring a matrix of black dots, the overall composition evokes the aesthetic of commercial printing techniques, a hallmark of the Pop Art movement. This distinctively contrasts the organic form of the brushstroke, imbuing the piece with both visual tension and harmony.
