Rendered in his signature typographic style, the work presents a statement that is both universally familiar and quietly profound. With its clean composition and deadpan delivery, the piece invites viewers to reflect on change - personal, cultural, or historical - without sentimentality. As always, Ruscha uses language not to explain, but to open a space for contemplation. That Was Then, This Is Now exemplifies his talent for transforming everyday expressions into poetic, open-ended meditations on the passage of time.Related artworks-
