About the Item
Allan D'Arcangelo (1930-1988) was an American printmaker best known for his hard-edge depictions of motorways and road signs. Working within the margins of Pop-Art, Minimalism, and Surrealism, D'Arcangelo valued subject over style. He believed deeply in morality, valuing a culture of protest and resistance. His most explored subject was the American experience.
At the time that this edition was published, D'Arcangelo was represented by the iconic Marlborough Gallery in New York. He left the gallery in 1975 due to ethical conflicts with the art world, choosing to move off-grid to Mexico and take a step back from the bustling New York scene.
Made with contrasting two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements, this print is a wonderful example of D'Arcangelo's interest in illusions of perspective.
While the bright blue backdrop evokes a clear sky, open road, and endless possibilities, those feelings of freedom turn to confinement and confusion as the striped, roadblock shapes come into view. The image oscillates between flatness and depth, coming together in a dynamic composition.
For D'Arcangelo, roadways led not only to open possibilities but also to regulated and constrained environments. By harnessing the vernacular of American signage, D'Arcangelo reflects a growing skepticism of American culture, consumerism, and political authority in the 1970s.

Allan D'Arcangelo 1
Allan D'Arcangelo was an American artist and printmaker. D'Arcangelo was born in Buffalo on June 16, 1930, to Italian immigrant parents. After earning a degree in history from the University of Buffalo, he moved to Mexico City where he studied art. In 1958, he held his first one-man show. His style, loosely termed Hard Edge or Constructivist Art, was based on spatial relationships. A keen sense of perception, complemented by expert use of color tones and shadows, points up these relationships in forceful compositions. It has been said that, “D'Arcangelo has the ability to defy, yet document, spatial relationships at the same time”. The recipient of 15 awards and commissions, D'Arcangelo had frequent one-man shows, many of which were in prominent museums throughout America. His selected exhibitions include, “American Landscape Painting” at Museum of Modern Art, “American Art Since 1945” at Museum of Modern Art, “Popular Imagery” in Sarah Lawrence College and “The Popular Image” at The Institute for Contemporary Art, were among some of them. D'Arcangelo passed away on December 17, 1998 in New York City due to complications with leukemia.

By Charles Pachter
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Charles Pachter (b. 1942) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists. His iconic, uplifting, and patriotic images have independently earned their place in the nation's museums and the Canadian art canon.
The barn, along with Queen Elizabeth and the Moose, forms a triad of icons that Charles Pachter has repeatedly visited over the course of his career.
Playful and a touch irreverent, Pachter's charming imagery presents a new narrative on Canadiana. The artist’s vast body of work includes painting, sculpture, printmaking, and drawing. Pachter’s works are widely sought-after and are an ideal selection for starting or continuing a collection of 20th-century Canadian art.
Pachter's confident colors, sharp lines, and graphic qualities are instantly recognizable and continue to be a mainstay throughout his oeuvre.
Here with an image of the classic TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) streetcars, this work epitomizes Pacther’s version of Canadian Pop Art...
