Untitled is a 1969 ink by Allan D'Arcangelo, depicting Road, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a bright yellow highway sign floating against a deep blue sky. The sign has no words—just a simple arrow pointing left. D’Arcangelo loved highways and roadside signs. He stripped them down to bold shapes and flat colors, like a billboard you’d see from a moving car. This print is from a series called *69*, named for the year it was made. The arrow feels like a direction you can’t quite follow. Look up the technique called impasto—it’s thick paint that stands out from the canvas, the opposite of this smooth screenprint.
Allan D'Arcangelo was an American artist and printmaker, best known for his paintings of highways and road signs that border on pop art and minimalism, precisionism and hard-edge painting, and also surrealism.
