'Smoke Dreams", 1980, seriagraph from the numbered edition of 250 - framed // Smoke Dreams by Allan D'Arcangelo is a 1980 serigraph that merges Americana with surreal pop art sensibilities. The composition features a reclining blonde woman with red lips, smoking a cigarette, her head positioned as though it is emerging from the landscape. Her face appears alongside a large highway sign labeled US 40, with the road stretching into the distance. The bright, simplified colors and clean lines evoke a sense of nostalgia and dreamlike escapism, transforming the familiar American road into a surreal stage. The imagery suggests themes of freedom, wanderlust, and the allure of the open road, juxtaposed with a sense of detachment. D'Arcangelo’s work often critiques American culture and identity, and here he subtly reflects on the romanticism and isolation associated with travel and the American dream.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
