Lithograph with collage // September 23rd bis (variant 1) by Ross Bleckner is a 2016 lithograph with collage elements, presenting a visually layered commentary on memory, loss, and historical documentation. The artwork replicates a newspaper obituary page, overlaid with abstract forms resembling water droplets, which distort and obscure sections of the text. A central image shows a crowd with raised hands, invoking themes of collective experience and remembrance. Bleckner’s use of collage and blurred imagery disrupts the straightforward reading of the text, suggesting a meditation on how memories fade and are altered over time. The piece invites contemplation on the ephemeral nature of both personal and collective histories.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
