El artista estadounidense utiliza en sus pinturas un diccionario de si-
nónimos para generar cadenas de palabras que resultan mordazmente
graciosas y rebosantes de color. Bochner comparte con otros artistas
que surgieron en la década de 1960, un interés en usar sistemas de
racionalización (números, medidas, definiciones) para explorar la
naturaleza irracional y provisional del ser.
Uses a thesaurus to generate word chains that are both mordantly funny and bursting
with colour. He shares with other artists who emerged in the 1960s, an interest in
using rationalising systems, such as numbers, measurements, definitions, to explore
the irrational and provisional nature of being.
