ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1974 ink by Edward Ruscha, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows big, blocky letters spelling out "MADE IN USA." The letters are made from tiny dots of brown, blue, and yellow. The background is a sea of tiny, scattered dots in those same colors. The letters look rough but clear, like they’re stamped or printed. The dots create a grainy texture that makes the words stand out. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
Edward Joseph Ruscha IV (, roo-SHAY; born December 16, 1937) is an American artist associated with the pop art movement.
