Legible or not, that kind of thing was not to everyone's taste. If you were a formalist, dedicated to the ever more stringent purification of color and form, all those goats and chickens were dumb and demoralizing. Hadn't this guy ever heard of the sublime? But if you were a young artist looking for permission to do something utterly new, Rauschenberg's interlocking serendipities, his big yes to everything, were a key that turned in your brain. All kinds of subsequent art?Pop, installations, even performance art?would owe something to the combines...
...American TV made famous." Lee also likens his own poetry to "a mission," but he's no firebrand proselytizer. His tone throughout this collection is that of the soft-spoken, ecumenical humanist.

But all over town there are flashes of brilliant color: red, blue and white Serbian flags fly from nearly every window, door and rusted railing...
...create a bunch of new names for them. Effects supervisor John Gaeta itemizes some of them in the forthcoming book The Art of Speed Racer: "Faux lensing," "Photo Anime film format," "designer shape de-focus," "infinite depth of field," "bling and super-bling flare enhancements" and "candy-inspired Techno Color." You can tell that everyone had liberated fun making the film; it feels like the group effort of Mensa kids let loose in a paint store...
