直到四月份才付清，这表达了一种冷静、超然的世界观，与鲁沙的概念性作品如他的相册《日落地带》1966年（洛杉矶县艺术博物馆）保持一致。大概像商店橱窗里展示的海报那么大，这幅画的高山背景和醒目的字母让人想起廉价滑雪度假的广告。尽管它现成的外观，但是，文本和图像的配对是由Ruscha构思的，他以高度完成蒙太奇。尽管如此，Ruscha声称对于他收集到的折衷的原材料漠不关心：“在许多方面，我头脑空虚，不知道为什么我遵循我所遵循的。”像大多数人一样，我以自动模式运作，一切都是无意识的反射。当你拍照片的时候，逻辑会飞出窗外，至少它和我在一起。感谢上帝，它做到了。”正如前面提到的集图像于一身的相册，根据某种任意的分类，直到四月份不付钱似乎是根据一种明显的肤浅的感情创造出来的。

Genre:landscape

Pay Nothing Until April expresses a cool, detached world-view in keeping with Ruscha’s conceptual works such as his photo-book (Every Building On) The Sunset Strip 1966 (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). Roughly the size of a poster that might be displayed in a shop window, the picture’s alpine setting and eye-grabbing lettering call to mind an advertisement for a bargain ski holiday. Despite its ready-made appearance, however, the pairing of text and image was conceived by Ruscha who executed the montage with a high degree of finish. Nevertheless Ruscha claims to be indifferent to the eclectic source material that he amasses: ‘I’m empty headed in many ways, and don’t know why I follow what I follow. Like most people, I operate on an automatic mode, and everything is an involuntary reflex. Logic flies out of the window when you’re making a picture, at least it does with me. And thank God it does.’ As with the aforementioned photo-book, which brings together images on the basis of somewhat arbitrary categorisations, Pay Nothing Until April appears to have been created in accordance with a pointedly superficial sensibility.
