The artwork, titled “Hollywood,” was created in 1969 by Edward Ruscha, an artist associated with the Pop Art movement. This figurative piece distinctly portrays a representation of the iconic Hollywood Sign.
In the artwork, the famous “Hollywood” sign is depicted in an elongated, panoramic format. The composition captures the sign, set against the rolling hills, extending horizontally across the scene. A minimalistic approach defines the image with a stark contrast between the dark silhouette of the hills and the bright, pale expanse of the sky. This artistic choice emphasizes the prominence of the sign while evoking a sense of vast emptiness and grandeur. The simplicity and clarity of the design reflect Ruscha’s distinctive style within the Pop Art genre.
