SMOKING BLONDE, 1990, color screenprint, signed in pencil, from the numbered edition of 65, sheet 37 ½ x 47”, In Perfect Condition // Smoking Blond by Allan D'Arcangelo is a 1990 serigraph that encapsulates a blend of pop art aesthetics and symbolic Americana. The composition features a reclining blonde woman, her head resting in the foreground while she smokes a cigarette, her gaze directed upward in a contemplative manner. The scene is framed by a dark road receding into the background, divided by white dashed lines, symbolizing a journey or passage. The surreal touch of a butterfly floating near her head adds a delicate contrast to the otherwise bold and graphic style. The colors are striking, with the bright yellow of her hair and the pink of her skin set against the deep blacks and greens of the landscape. This work embodies themes of escapism, introspection, and the transient nature of life, with the open road representing both freedom and the unknown. D'Arcangelo's style and use of sharp lines reflect the influence of pop art, merging everyday imagery with deeper, reflective undertones.

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.
