Meaning & Analysis

Similar to another print from the series christened Nude, Blonde employs a colour palette uncharacteristic of Lichtenstein. Unevenly distributed intersecting brushstrokes in blush, military green and orange span most of the canvas. There is a rhythm to these sweeps, testifying to Lichtenstein’s musical interests stemming from his early adolescence.

Although stylistically familiar areas are scarce in this work, Liechtenstein’s traditional brownish red Ben Day dots and dark blue stripes can be spotted hiding beneath the top and bottom of the composition. Simultaneously, a sweeping black outlined yellow formation is added to the left, bearing the distinct cartoonish signature of the artist.

In essence, the works comprising the Brushstroke Faces series are hybrids with regards to their formalistic qualities.

  • 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.
