Consider Ruscha's Standard Station, included in this chapter of the text. Identify the printing technique used in this work. Discuss the subject matter of this print and briefly describe the materials and process used to create such a work. How is the attitude of the artist towards his subject reinforced by the choice of medium?
What will be an ideal response?
Rucha used screenprinting, a technique in which ink is pushed through a stencil against a paper's surface, taking advantage of this medium's ability to produce broad areas of flat, uniform color. Drawing on the giant letters seen on billboards and signs, particularly gas stations, Rucha created a series of prints that linked the connotation of a word to the fundamentals of American life.
