Críticas:

"Robert's career is an exceptional piece of Americana. ...his paintings continue to challenge the way the gatekeepers of art history position the underground movements of pervasive culture," - Evan Pricco, Editor, Juxtapoz

..".Williams and his art are born of a uniquely California confluence of cultural phenomena: car culture, alternative comics, skateboarding, animation, pornography and the entertainment industry." - Carolina A. Miranda, Los Angeles Times

"The current international capitol of artistic sophistication is New York City. Ever since the end of the Second World War, every small city in the United States that has an art community has looked to New York for cultural parenting. However, an interesting anomaly has developed over the years. "Sophistication," like any other folkway, travels slowly, with misinterpretations happening along the way. By the time high culture reached the West Coast it had traded its Brooks Brothers suit for cut-offs, a Hawaiian shirt, and flip-flops. Art on the West Coast, as much as it tries to maintain blue blood affectations, shows mutations. It just doesn't have the aloof adroit coldness the Eastern Seaboard art society seems to portray." -- Robert Williams, from his Introduction to Slang Aesthetics
