DescriptionWhen massive slabs of concrete formed the Los Angeles freeway structures in the early 1960s, artist Roger Kuntz took note of their bold shapes and especially the way the light and shadows played off those forms. Those existing elements, combined with his masterful sense of composition and design, resulted in this painting and others in his Freeway Series.
