“If this were a book about Jasper Johns the indirections of encaustic painting might need discussion, if about George Segal, life-casting and its effect on his iconography, but Lichtenstein’s technique is pretty straightforward. It exists as a straight line leading to the images that we see as we look at his work. His way of painting does not depend on secrets, but on a systematically followed procedure. It is this sequence that must be the subject here, not pockets of ingenuity in the process of work”

“When in the early 1960s he worked with photographic transfers, the images -- each in itself illusionistic -- kept interfering with one another; intimations of spatial meaning forever canceling out to subside in a kind of optical noise. The waste and detritus of communication -- like radio transmission with interference; noise and meaning on the same wavelength, visually on the same flatbed plane.....Rauschenberg’s picture plane had to become a surface to which anything reachablethinkable would adhere. It had to whatever a billboard or dashboard is, and everything a projection screen is, with further affinities for anything that is flat and worked overpalimpsest, canceled plate, printer’s proof, trial blank, chart, map, aerial view.”

-Leo Steinberg on Robert Rauschenberg, in “The Flatbed Picture Plane”, 1968
