"Our artist is very famous for his brushstrokes," Trish told me. "Look closely--this artist's brushstrokes are plain as day. From short choppy dashes, slashes and dots to curving swirls, he used his brushstrokes to convey his emotions while he painted."
I scratched my head, "Was he the first artist to show brushstrokes?"
"Nah--the Impressionists had already shocked people by refusing to smooth out their brushstrokes. For centuries before them, though, many artists strived to create smooth, perfect canvasses with no evidence of a brush. But this artist's brushstrokes are as recognizable as his signature."
Trish whipped out several postcards and held them up:
"So which of these brushstrokes were made by the same
artist?"
