拍品专文

"I discover the nuanced sophistication in his raucous imagery. It's like hearing a jazz master transform some silly pop tune that, thus estranged, begins to seem not so silly after all. Colescott rips into crude iconography to free crazy energies it entombs." (P. Schjeldahl, "The Social Comedian," Village Voice, 28 May 1998).
