Color Screenprint with Collaged Postcard - Signed and dated lower right in the artists hand in pencil - numbered lower left in the black area // Super Highway by Allan D'Arcangelo, created in 1969, is a vibrant and complex screenprint that captures the aesthetics of American roadways and the expansive landscape. The composition juxtaposes various elements: a red-and-white diagonal stripe that bisects the piece, a series of outlined clouds against blue skies, and collaged postcard images of a highway and countryside. The structured lines and blocks of color give the piece a graphic quality, emphasizing the geometry of roads and highways. The mix of natural and man-made imagery reflects D'Arcangelo’s interest in the cultural significance of the American highway as both a literal and metaphorical path through the landscape. This work speaks to themes of movement, travel, and the intersection of nature and infrastructure, capturing the essence of mid-20th-century American life.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
