Talk:Edward Ruscha

Anyone knows if Edward Ruscha’s sister Shelby Ruscha ever married, any kids? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8080:A302:737F:1D5E:BA08:455D:3CD6 (talk) 10:02, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Ruscha- a printmaker?
I have replaced the word "printmaker" with "photographer." I have studied Ruscha before, and as far as I know he has never been a prominent printmaker, though he has made lithographs before. Next to his occupation as a painter, he is most famous for his works as a photographer. As such, i have replaced "printmaker" with "photographer." Feel free to change it back, if you know otherwise.
 * Actually, as a printmaker, I knew of his screen prints. In particular, as a printmaker, he was known for how he used rainbow rolls. Even a quick Google image search of his name initially turns up "Standard Station", a screen print that happens to be one of his most prominent pieces of work. Printmaking was important to many pop-artists with Ruscha included. I wouldn't limit it to just lithography and insert "printmaker" again without replacing photography since he worked in all those media. His paintings and photography might be more famous, but his printmaking work was important and the fact that he was a printmaker shouldn't be removed in place for any of it.--76.215.17.251 03:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Discussion of his work
I feel that a more accurate discussion of his work is needed. There are several errors in the one already up. PRIOR to the 1980s, Ruscha was already working with dried vegetable and other various organic pigments. Moreover, his incorporation of a motif of shadowed rays of light also appeared way before the 1980s. If i have more time, I will write up something. Other ideas or input is appreciated. 21:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Commissioned works
"Ruscha's first major public commissions include a monumental mural at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (1966)"

A citation is going to be needed for this specific claim, the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego operated at the La Jolla Art Museum in 1966. I believe there is a confusion behind the suggested date of this commission seeing as a monumental mural does exist: Brave Men of La Jolla (1995–1996). However, if this was the first mural associated with the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego or any of it's former names is unclear to me. I am unable to find any records of a mural being associated with the La Jolla Art Museum in 1966.
