Catalogue Note
"[The Brushstroke] was the way of portraying this romantic and bravura symbol in its opposite style, classicism...it is just an idea to start with, and painting it makes it more concrete, but when you do it in bronze sculpture, it becomes real and has weight and is absurd, contradictory and funny." - Roy Lichtenstein
