How does Yellow and Green Brushstrokes elucidate its Background?
Yellow and Green Brushstrokes is located at the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, Germany. The museum acquired the work from the collection of Karl Ströher in 1981. The source for the entire Brushstrokes series was Charlton Comics' Strange Suspense Stories 72 (October 1964) by Dick Giordano.According to the Lichtenstein Foundation, Lichtenstein produced two distinct 1966 oil and Magna on canvases by the title Yellow and Green Brushstrokes.  The second one is smaller at 36 by 68 inches (91 by 173 centimetres). It involved much straighter brushstrokes.The painting depicts two brushstrokes magnified to cover the entire vast canvas. This is one of several such Brushstrokes series representations that seem "absurd".
