Allan D'Arcangelo
American, 1930 - 1998
Label TextGlimpsed from the driver's seat in a shiny mirror, a generic, unblemished highway slides into the distance. A romantic might connect this landscape to Kerouac's novel On the Road, or consider it a precursor of the movie Easy Rider. A cultural historian might read it in terms of standardization, dehumanization, and denaturalization at work in the U.S.
