I am a huge fan of Pop Art, therefore as a second picture I decided to choose a work of one of the greatest artists of those times - a 'Brush Stroke' by Roy Lichtenstein. What I like the most in this art piece is that a simple brush stroke, usually a basic element, one of a thousands which are creating the whole painting, is separated, gloryfied, being an artwork on its own. Also, it is a pure Pop Art visual manifesto - a comic style: popular, exciting and cheap estetique, mocked commercialism and materialism (and I reckon it still does), which were growing violently back in the '60s.
I adore the comic interpretation of a brush stroke, its characteristics captured in a fat, black lineart and bold, arogant colour. The simple game of wavy lines gives me a visual joy and even without the substantive background I find this picture delightfully interesting.
