There is no hidden allegory-no esoteric relationship between the birds and the helicopters. No set of footnotes is needed to explain the picture. Still, the images come from the real world and therefore evoke, as Rauschenberg's dealer, Leo Castelli, puts it, "something deeper, more visceral than pure optics...
