Metro, Petro, Neuro, Psycho, de Ed Ruscha, de una edición de 25 ejemplares con 10 pruebas de artista, ejemplifica la continua investigación del artista sobre el potencial visual y conceptual del lenguaje. En esta obra, las palabras apiladas se despliegan como una estructura arquitectónica, sus sílabas rimadas generan un ritmo verbal que subraya la fascinación de Ruscha por el ritmo y lo absurdo del texto. Las letras se convierten en formas, el espaciado en estructura y la propia tipografía adquiere el peso de la imagen.





Este grabado, que tiende un puente entre las icónicas pinturas de palabras de Ruscha de los años sesenta y sus experimentos más estratificados de los años ochenta y posteriores, encarna su planteamiento de aislar fragmentos del lenguaje -eslóganes en carteles publicitarios, palabras oídas por casualidad o frases inventadas- para poder reconsiderarlos como fenómenos visuales y semánticos. El propio Ruscha ha descrito estos arreglos como "ruido visual", a la vez lúdico y desorientador. El reconocimiento institucional de la importancia de la obra se ve reafirmado por ejemplos en el Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York y la Galería Nacional de Arte de Washington.
