Serigraph, signed and numbered in pencil // The Holy Family by Allan D'Arcangelo is a 1980 serigraph that juxtaposes minimalistic road imagery with a hint of symbolic interpretation. The artwork presents an open road stretching towards a distant horizon, framed by silhouettes of trees under a clear blue sky. A “YIELD” sign is prominently displayed in the lower foreground, adding a note of caution. Above the road, a rearview mirror hangs, reflecting the road behind and featuring a pair of dangling air fresheners shaped like hearts—a subtle, perhaps ironic reference to the concept of The Holy Family. D'Arcangelo’s use of sharp, clean lines and a simplified color palette lends the piece a calm, meditative quality, while also alluding to the themes of journey, nostalgia, and reflection. The interplay between the road as a symbol of life’s path and the invocation of familial love or guidance invites viewers to consider the delicate balance between direction and caution in their own lives.

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.
