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 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.
