Although Ruscha denies this in interviews, the vernacular of Los Angeles and Southern California landscapes contributes to the themes and styles central to much of Ruscha ’ s paintings, drawings, and books.
Examples of this include the publication Every Building on the Sunset Strip ( 1966 ), a book of continuous photographs of a two and one half mile stretch of the 24 mile boulevard.
In 1973, following the model of Every Building on the Sunset Strip, he photographed the entire length of Hollywood Boulevard with a motorized camera.
Also, paintings like Standard Station ( 1966 ), Large Trademark ( 1962 ), and Hollywood ( 1982 ) exemplify Ruscha ’ s kinship with the Southern California visual language.
Two of these paintings, Standard and Large Trademark were emulated out of car parts in 2008 by Brazilian photographer Vik Muniz as a commentary on Los Angeles and its car culture.
