Meanwhile, in the life of Edward Ruscha
The whole life1956–1960
Chouinard: Irwin, Woelffer and the journal Orb
At the Chouinard Art Institute (now the California Institute of the Arts) he studies under Robert Irwin and Emerson Woelffer; in 1959–1960, together with Joe Goode, Woelffer, Stephan von Huene, Jerry McMillan and others, he edits and produces the journal Orb, one of the first recorded alternative newspapers in the US.
1961
Seven months in Europe with his mother and brother
He travels through Europe for seven months with his mother and brother, coming upon more works by Johns and Rauschenberg, R. A. Bertelli's “Head of Mussolini” and “Ophelia” by Sir John Everett Millais. The photographs from this trip mark the start of his photography.
1962
“New Painting of Common Objects” in Pasadena
Ruscha takes part, with Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Robert Dowd, Phillip Hefferton, Joe Goode, Jim Dine and Wayne Thiebaud, in “New Painting of Common Objects” at the Pasadena Art Museum, curated by Walter Hopps. It is regarded as one of the first Pop Art exhibitions in America.
1963
