Ed Ruscha

Edward Ruscha is an American painter + printmaker + photographer + filmmaker + he achieved recognition for paintings incorporating words and phrases and for his many photographic books, all influenced by the deadpan irreverence of the Pop Art movement + he uses odd mediums (gunpowder, blood, fruit and vegetable juices, axle grease, and grass stains) to draw, print, and paint to create a unique work of art.
