// Barrera-Rosa's by Robert Cottingham is a linocut print from 1986, part of a limited edition marked IV/X. This piece, rendered in striking black and beige tones, captures a slice of urban life with a focus on signage and architectural details. Cottingham, known for his photorealistic and Pop Art-inspired portrayals of Americana, highlights storefronts, street signs, and façades that tell a story of everyday urban spaces. The composition’s layered signage, featuring ads for liquor stores and local restaurants, creates a nostalgic atmosphere, drawing attention to the graphic language of cityscapes. Through bold lines and contrasting shadows, Cottingham encapsulates a vibrant, yet static moment in a bustling city environment.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
