Untitled is a 1962 acrylic by Allan D'Arcangelo, depicting road, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a long, flat highway stretching into the distance, painted in bright, clean colors. The road is divided by white lines, and the horizon is a sharp, straight line. There are no cars, no people—just the road and the sky. D’Arcangelo painted highways like this in the 1960s, when America was building interstates and car culture was booming. The empty road feels both familiar and strange, like a place you’ve driven but never really looked at. If you like this, check out other works in The Museum of Modern Art—they have more paintings that play with roads and signs.
