Ed Ruscha's "Los Francisco San Angeles"
Claressinka Anderson
I have a love for cartography and text based works and I have always admired Ed Ruscha’s map lithographs of Los Angeles. They are not Ruscha’s most iconic works, but with their graphic elegance and simplicity, they are some of my favorites. This particular work is from a series of small color etchings that he titled "Los Francisco San Angeles" to reflect how the etchings made light of the cultural distance between Northern California and Southern California.
