Ed Ruscha: This One
Published by Hamilton Press from a series produced in 2023, this lithograph by Ed Ruscha depicts the two words that comprise its title. The short phrase is rendered in a style similar to that of the artist’s “swiped” word paintings, which likewise suggest that their verbal subjects are in rapid motion. As a group, the prints also begin to hint at a loose narrative involving movement or travel; in This One, the titular phrase is rendered in dashed black lines, conveying a sense of arrival.
Over the course of a more than sixty-year career, Ruscha has assembled a broad lexicon of symbols, images, and words drawn from vernacular American culture. Using a range of mediums, he continues to deploy his wry wit to explore the frequent disconnect between ideas and their expression.
