Ed Ruscha

Fifty Years Of Painting
After coming across Ruscha in the 'Text and Image' unit I was pleased to see he would be exhibiting at the Hayward Gallery. It was a great, varied exhibition with works spanning throughout his career. I think his simplest works were the most impressive, particularly those created in the 70s. It was interesting to see how one phase moved into the next, and how later in his career he returned back to painting styles and ideas he had used almost fifty years ago.
