Signed, dated and numbered to lower margin. Image: 22 × 31.8 in (56 × 81 cm). Sheet: 26.1 × 35.75 w in (66 × 91 cm). Allan D’Arcangelo’s Smoke Dreams (1980) is a screenprint in colors that blends Pop Art clarity with surreal imagery. The composition places a bold US Route 40 highway sign in the foreground, framed by receding lanes of road. Above, a reclining blonde woman with closed eyes smokes a cigarette, her form seamlessly merging with the grassy landscape. The flat, vivid colors and simplified contours recall billboard aesthetics while introducing dreamlike disjunction between the road sign and the figure. Produced in an edition of 250, this work reflects D’Arcangelo’s fascination with American highways, symbols of mobility and escape, reimagined through irony and fantasy.

What is Hard Edge Art?
Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
