"...the most ambitious painting I did with circus material. The subject appealed to me because it suggested both the intimate life outside the big top and the excitement inside. The girls were waiting outside for the moment they would dash into the tent to perform acts of daring and precision." -Clarence Holbrook Carter, as quoted in Frank Anderson Trapp's, Clarence Holbrook Carter (New York: Rizzoli, 1989) 18.
