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 geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
