Black Ants from the Insects Portfolio

1972

This screenprint exemplifies Ruscha's conceptual approach to printmaking, using an unconventional paper-backed wood veneer support to depict mundane subject matter with deadpan precision. Part of his broader exploration of everyday objects and creatures, the work demonstrates his mastery of commercial printing techniques applied to fine art contexts.
