Color Screenprint with Collaged Postcard - Signed and dated lower right in the artists hand in pencil - numbered lower left in the black area // Super Highway by Allan D'Arcangelo, created in 1969, is a vibrant and complex screenprint that captures the aesthetics of American roadways and the expansive landscape. The composition juxtaposes various elements: a red-and-white diagonal stripe that bisects the piece, a series of outlined clouds against blue skies, and collaged postcard images of a highway and countryside. The structured lines and blocks of color give the piece a graphic quality, emphasizing the geometry of roads and highways. The mix of natural and man-made imagery reflects D'Arcangelo’s interest in the cultural significance of the American highway as both a literal and metaphorical path through the landscape. This work speaks to themes of movement, travel, and the intersection of nature and infrastructure, capturing the essence of mid-20th-century American life.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
