“I grew up in the Bible Belt, the Dust Bowl, and I felt it was the perfect name for that part of the country – for someone to name a girl Styrene. I never heard of it. I just made it up.” Ed Ruscha
"Sometimes found words are the most pure because they have nothing to do with you. I take things as I find them. A lot of these things come from the noise of every day life." Ed Ruscha "This book reproduces 575 'word' works by Ruscha. Arranged by the artist, these images become a sort of novel without an obvious plot, a series of words with an implied narrative." (publisher's note) |
