Original lithograph in colors on BFK Rives - Published by Tandem Press University of Wisconsin - Suite: An American Alphabet // Robert Cottingham's The Letter M, a lithograph from his 2001 An American Alphabet series, exemplifies his mastery in depicting the bold visual language of American signage. The artwork focuses on a stylized, three-dimensional M rendered with intricate neon-like lines and vivid colors. Cottingham uses deep shadows and layered textures to create a sense of depth, emphasizing the structural and architectural qualities of vintage signage. The combination of geometric forms and industrial aesthetics evokes a nostalgic feel, reminiscent of mid-20th-century American commercial facades. Printed on BFK Rives paper and published by Tandem Press, this limited edition piece is a striking example of Cottingham’s exploration of typography and the visual culture embedded in urban landscapes.

What is photorealism?
Photorealism is a genre of art or artistic movement that involves drawing, painting, and other graphic media in which the artist carefully studies a photograph and attempts to reproduce it as realistically as possible in another medium. While the term can broadly describe any artwork created in this manner, it specifically refers to a group of painters and paintings in the U.S. art movement that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
