The lexicon of images in Bass's paintings becomes a theatre of symbols, continually shifting and repeating, which
addresses image production and consumption through a language that may suggest the viewers to «read» the paintings.
It also could provide a means whereby other influential factors could be investigated and
addressed, such as differences in the social and economic purposes of broadcasting, the social sources of violence and how media portrayals interact with those causes, how the restraints and traditions of media
production cause the media to pick up particular cultural
images while ignoring others, and how particular audiences respond to and use media
images.
