Catalogue Note

Ultimately, these borrowed images make sense as elements of a private language. They recur, are recombined, unified by the gestural brushwork of the artist who remains involved and not distanced or alienated from his work. (Barbara Rose, and interview with Robert Rauschenberg, 1987, p. 6)
