Beginnings

Allan D’Arcangelo Smoke Dreams screenprint with US Route 40 sign, reclining blonde woman smoking, vivid Pop Art colors.

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 Surrealism?

Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
