ED Ruscha is fond of words. The versatile artist likes them so much, words appear in his paintings throughout his career. Most of the time he uses an existing type, but between 1966 and 1969 Ruscha makes up his own form. The results are the ‘liquid words’ paintings. The first one has the title ‘Annie, Poured from Maple Syrup’. Check out more paintings of Ruscha here.  They are all there, from the early works from 1958 till the late ones in 1992. Although some are missing.
