Nightmares and Migraines
1985
A brooding field of deep, velvety darkness dominates this work by Ed Ruscha, rendered in dry pigment and acrylic on paper with the artist's signature command of atmospheric tone and texture. The title, implied through Ruscha's characteristic interplay of language and image, evokes a sense of psychological tension lurking beneath the surface. The work exemplifies his ability to transform simple materials into compositions charged with quiet, unsettling power.
