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 minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
