Ed Ruscha created Boiling Blood, Fly at Tamarind Lithography Workshop in 1969. Produced alongside his Liquid Words prints, Boiling Blood, Fly similarly explores the formation of word associations. The print’s intense title, contrasting with its minimalist composition, belies the viewer’s visual expectation and calls attention to the gap between language and image.
