Quote:
"[La raison avant la passion's] ambiguous approach to producing patriotism surely must result in part from its use of a post-Pop art approach to ends entirely different from those one usually associates with the earlier movement. Wieland has been described as post-Warhol, but one cannot imagine a more different artistic personality in terms of themes and intent. Where Pop art imagery is so often used to disparage or satirize, Wieland's is far more positive."
-- George Lellis
