Anytime I see the image of a work created by Ed Ruscha I am amazed by the elegance of this synthesis of Minimalistic restraint and Photorealistic precision. The painting in the image above will be seen at the Pacific Standard Time (announced in the last Artlog bulletin): an exhibition hosted by the J. Paul Getty Museum in L.A., October 1 through April 30.
