Red and White Brushstrokes 1965 — Fine Art

Red and White Brushstrokes 1965 shows broad red marks and white marks laid over a plain ground. The red strokes run in one direction, the white strokes sit over them, and the black outline keeps each mark clear.

The picture belongs to the pop art period in the work of Roy Lichtenstein. The fine art print sits on a pale wall with the centre hung at a steady height under even light.

The matte surface keeps the red marks flat and the white marks soft, so the black outline reads without shine under a lamp. It fits a hallway where the red strokes show from the first step and the white marks stay clear as you pass the turn.
