Label TextEd Ruscha's (b. 1937) graphic simplicity, playful humor, and keen interest in car culture came to define a new generation of California art. Pico and Sepulveda epitomizes past and present Los Angeles: it references not only a major intersection in LA’s urban sprawl, but also the clash of two early-California ranching dynasties (after whom the streets were later named).
