Blank spots

Edward Ruscha leaves blank spots usually in the form of a rectangle or square in some of his paintings including the painting I am writing about for this class. (look below for Home Power) I have no idea why he does this. The blank rectangle is obviously an integral part of the painting because it stands out so much but I don't want to end up 'over interpeting". Why does he do that?!

Here are some others...

  1. OH!
    I couldn't figure out why you were so excited to see the blank spot Ruscha today at the high - now I know why! I remember seeing this blog post before, but I didn't realize that it was one of yours. Glad you saw one in person today! :)
