"What appears to be the most impressive feature of her work is the manner in which she fuses memory with freshness of renewed experience. Carole Robb's paintings are in part touchstones of reality -- of here and now -- merged with the graduated experience derived from the past. This is why her work is and will remain memorable." -- Peter de Francia, London, Painter and author of Leger, the Great Parade [Cassell, 1969] and The Life and Work of Fernand Leger [Yale University Press, 1983]
