A group of three cast concrete pillars by Marlin Lord and a dedicatory plaque. The rectangular pillars are staggered in plan and vary in height. The group is mounted on a semi-circular pad. This sculpture was originally installed concurrent with the 1967 Mount Vernon Community School addition and de-installed in 2005 to make room for another renovation. A new sculpture was recreated and installed in front of the library in 2012.

2/27/24 Lichtenstein

Brushstroke
Roy Lichtenstein
1996-97, painted aluminum, 32’ high
Lent by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Roy Lichtenstein burst on the art scene in the early 1960s with paintings inspired by comic books; today they look disarming and playful, but when new, they seemed shockingly irreverent. For three decades, he amusingly used an isolated brushstroke as the emblem of high art. Then Lichtenstein created his first Brushstrokesculptures, giving fluid “paint” a free-standing physical presence. The monumentality of this example evokes the heroism of the abstract expressionist painters, while its rapid calligraphic energy belies its static form.
