Unique Enamel on Aluminum Panel - Unsigned - Public Installation - In very good condition - Part of a twelve-panel installation installed at the Union Station in Hartford, Conn. // Robert Cottingham's Union Pacific Railroad (1987) is a striking work emblematic of his focus on American iconography and typography. This unique enamel painting on an aluminum panel prominently features the Union Pacific Railroad logo, rendered in a bold, graphic style that captures the nostalgia and industrial significance associated with American railroads. The piece employs a limited palette of blue, beige, and white, with the shield logo standing out against diagonal striped borders, adding a sense of structure and movement. Originally part of a twelve-panel public installation at Union Station in Hartford, Connecticut, this work not only celebrates the visual aesthetics of Americana but also pays homage to the history of transportation and commerce. Cottingham's attention to detail and reverence for typography make this piece a timeless representation of American visual culture.

What is Lettrism?
Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
