Lithograph in colors on T.H. Saunders Waterford. Signed and numbered to lower edge,with publisher's blindstamp. Printed by The Arion Press, San Francisco and published by Mangnolia Editions, Oakland, CA. Literature: Hurowitz 31-35. The life and opinions of Tristam Shandy 3 (Two Nude Women Perched on a Rock) (1988) by John Baldessari is a color lithograph that fuses black-and-white imagery with bold, abstract interventions. Printed on T.H. Saunders Waterford paper, the work presents two nude women posed on a sculptural rock formation. Their faces are obscured by flat, bright dots—one yellow, one blue—while the contours of the rock are traced with a red line, transforming the natural form into a stylized, graphic shape. This strategic use of color and obstruction reflects Baldessari’s exploration of identity, visual meaning, and narrative disjunction. Part of his Tristam Shandy series, the print challenges the viewer's assumptions about storytelling and interpretation. Edition of 50.

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.
