Honk (Cracker Jack), 1962—originally done in oil, black ink, and pencil on paper—is an artwork by Ed Ruscha which skews the meaning of each word through color, background, and font . “I like the idea of a word becoming a picture, almost leaving its body, then coming back and becoming a word again,” he said of his inspiration. With a practice that spans drawing, painting, photography, film, printmaking, and publishing, Ed Ruscha’s background as a graphic designer is evident in his subtle use of typography. 24” H x 24" W Archival pigment prints on Lasal Moab 230gsm paper © Ed Ruscha To learn more about the Broad collection and this artist, please visit https://www.thebroad.org/art/ed-ruscha Show more
