Lichtenstein explains: """"It [the brushstroke] was the way of portraying this romantic and bravura symbol in its opposite style, classicism. The Brushstroke plays a big part in the history of art. Brushstroke almost means painting or art. Lichtenstein’s fascination with the brushstroke throughout art history is explored in sections covering his work in collage, drawing, painting and sculpture.
