Etching with aquatint on Arches paper. Signed in pencil and numbered. Published by Peter Blum Edition, New York. Image: 6 1?2 x 8 in. (16.5 × 20.3 cm.). Sheet: 16 1?2 x 19 3?4 in. (41.9 × 50.2 cm.). Literature: Coplan Hurowitz 10-18; Jameson 1. // In the second plate of the Black Dice suite, Baldessari tightens his focus to a single grainy face — a man's features caught in coarse halftone, lifted from the 1948 film-noir still that runs through the series. The fragment sits embedded in velvety black aquatint, while etched contour lines and smaller dark masses scatter across the surrounding white field like loosened pieces of the dismantled image. The plate balances portrait and abstraction, presence and erasure, with the deadpan precision that defines Baldessari's conceptual practice. Printed by Peter Blum Edition, New York, in an edition of thirty-five.

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.
