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 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.
