“Grant (from Los Francisco San Angeles portfolio)” is an artwork by Edward Ruscha, who is associated with the Conceptual Art movement. The artwork falls within the figurative genre.
The artwork presents a minimalist composition, featuring a series of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines, which are meticulously rendered in varying colors. These lines form a grid-like pattern, reminiscent of a street map. Each line is labeled with the names of different streets in Los Francisco San Angeles, such as Wilshire, La Brea, and Powell, among others. The color palette is subdued yet deliberate, using shades of blue, red, and yellow to distinguish each street. The minimalist approach and the strategic placement of textual elements highlight Ruscha’s conceptual explorations, blending cartographic aesthetics with artistic interpretations.
