Ed Ruscha (1937 - )



Born in Omaha, Nebraska, he became one of America's most productive figures in the fine arts in the late 20th century. Working from a studio in Hollywood, California, he is a painter, graphic artist, photographer, author and film maker and is especially known for his witty paintings with calligraphic and numeric messages that reflect urban imagery of life in Southern California.



He studied art at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles between 1956 and 1960 and then served in the United States Navy, traveled in Europe, and taught as artist-in-residence at numerous universities and art schools.



Some of his earliest letter painting were painted in his Paris hotel room from sketches he made of subway signs, recognizable pop-culture images. Many of his backgrounds were painterly, heavy with impasto.



A special traveling exhibition of his work: "Edward Ruscha" was held June-September 1 at The Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC and from November 20 to June 3, 2001 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
