English term or phrase: ragbag
Salle creates large-scale figurative paintings, which are a ragbag of familiar, not very taxing, images culled from art history, adverts, design, porn, and so on. Facile and technically feeble when examined closely at first hand, they fortunately for him look quite convincing as small-scale reproductions in books or catalogues.

A tradução desse trecho:
"...which are a ragbag of familiar, not very taxing, images culled from art history..."
seria algo como:
"que são uma miscelânea/mistura de imagens familiares, não muito cansativas, da história da arte..."

Se preferir, inclua "de recortes":
"miscelânea de recortes de imagens"
ou
"mistura de recortes de imagens"

Na minha opinião, basta "miscelânea" ou "mistura".
