Little Sister
The word itself is probably the single most indentifiable theme in Ruscha’s work. In 1961 Ruscha travelled through France and made a number of paintings of just words alone, words that interested him, “Boulangerie” springs to mind for example. Ruscha often said that “The word chooses to assert itself as a picture.” This developed into an interest in using staccato, single words or short phrases as visual subjects. “Words have temperatures, when they reach certain temperatures, and become hot words, then they appeal to me”.
