"In Einstein's study of the speed of light, apparently the speeding person looks out the windo, and the view is altered because of the tremendous speed. And then the spectator, watching the speeding person - the look of that is also altered. Things are crammed together, and they're foreshortened. It's a pun, really. Like the difference between the artist and the critic, how different people see different things." - Rosenquist discussing his inspiration for his 'Speed of Light' paintings 1999 - 20000
