Descriptions Commentary Ed Ruscha's screenprint Cheese Mold Standard with Olive is representative of the artist's work of the 1960s and 70s. Ruscha's vernacular images of Standard gas stations and other commercial logos imbued with a feeling of deadpan irony brought him to prominence as a leader of West Coast pop art in the 1960s. Here Ruscha recasts the classic American landscape with a palette of phosphorescent blue-greens and irrationally places the image of a cocktail olive onto the upper right edge of the image.
