In the mid-1960s, Lichtenstein began painting comics style abstract images of gestural brushstrokes—a motif he would repeatedly return to over the following decades in a variety of media. By translating the fluidity of painted brushstrokes into a large-scale sculptural form, Lichtenstein doubles down on the irony of his original gesture.
