1-color lithograph on Arches Special paper. Sin – Without (2002) by Ed Ruscha is a 1-color lithograph that exemplifies his signature blend of text and image. The word "SIN" is emblazoned across a dramatically lit, monochromatic cloudscape, evoking both grandeur and ambiguity. The stark, capitalized serif letters contrast sharply with the atmospheric softness of the background, creating tension between concept and context. Known for his exploration of American vernacular and cinematic aesthetics, Ruscha here plays with moral and visual perception. The minimal palette and open-ended phrase suggest absence or abstraction—"sin" depicted without judgment, leaving interpretation to the viewer.

What is Lettrism?
Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
