Mixografia® print on handmade paper
© 1994 Ed Ruscha

Golden stalks of wheat pop off the page and slightly obscure the letters ‘US’ in the background. The italicized text, blurred borders of the letters and horizon line, and slanted grain stalks suggest motion and speed. Route 66 serves as inspiration in this print by Ed Ruscha; he took US 66 when he moved from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles to study art. Words—as symbols, forms, and objects—play an essential role in Ruscha’s artistic practice. A giant in contemporary art, Ruscha’s work is at the forefront of the Pop and Conceptual art movements of the 1950s and 60s.
