"Like Andy Warhol's Soup Cans, Lichtenstein's Brushstrokes were, clearly and at first glance, generational icons. They proposed a critique of the immediate past, clearly intending to supersede it without destroying it - to propose something new that would renew the past" -
D. Hickey, Roy Lichtenstein Brushstrokes: Four Decades, New York, 2001, p. 11.

Executed in 1984, this work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné being prepared by the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation.
