The life and opinions of Tristam Shandy 2 (Man Collapsed on Sofa; Man Tied to Chair)

John Baldessari Tristam Shandy 5 lithograph showing man running with blue dot on face beside yellow-toned scene of figures carrying coffin

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 5 (1988) by John Baldessari juxtaposes urgency and finality through a striking lithograph printed on T.H. Saunders Waterford paper. On the left, a blurred black-and-white image captures a man mid-run, his face obscured by a bright blue circle—a hallmark of Baldessari’s method of concealing identity. On the right, a contrasting yellow-tinted silhouette shows three figures carrying a coffin against a dramatic sky. The pairing of motion and stillness, life and death, embodies Baldessari’s conceptual engagement with narrative fragments, ambiguity, and visual storytelling. This piece, from an edition of 50 (+15 HC), was printed by The Arion Press and published by Magnolia Editions as part of the Tristam Shandy series.

What is geometric abstract art?

Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
