Attributed to Edward Ruscha, Ed Werd Rew Shay, limited edition hand colored etching on paper, Very Very Sanctuary. Signed in pencil lower right. Titled in pencil lower to the center. Numbered 9 of 20 in pencil lower left. Framed. Edward Joseph Ruscha IV Roo Shay, born 1937, is an American artist associated with the pop art movement. He has worked in the media of painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, and film. Ruscha became well known in the late 1950s when he began making small collages using images and words taken from everyday sources such as advertisements. This interest in the everyday led to him using the cityscape of his adopted hometown Los Angeles, a source of inspiration he has returned to again and again. Ruscha often combines images of the city with words and phrases from everyday language to communicate a particular urban experience. He also explores the banality of modern urban life and the barrage of mass media fed images and information that confronts us daily. Graphic Art Prints and Collectibles.
