Lithograph with silkscreen and embossing? - Signed and numbered, with studio blindstamp // Allan D'Arcangelo's Beginnings (1975) is a limited edition print created with a combination of lithography, silkscreen, and embossing techniques. The artwork features intersecting black lines forming an X and crossbars against a textured, embossed background. Earthy brown and deep blue color blocks are placed strategically, adding contrast to the predominantly dark composition. The embossed details suggest elements of a seal or emblem, partially obscured, which lends a sense of mystery and depth to the piece. D'Arcangelo, often associated with Pop Art, incorporates geometric abstraction and subtle symbolism here, inviting viewers to explore themes of origin and structure. This piece, signed and numbered with a studio blind stamp, measures approximately 76.2 x 55.9 cm and is part of an edition of 200 with 25 additional HC (Hors Commerce) prints.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
