rauschenberg

Sadly, just read about the death of Robert Rauschenberg in today’s Times. A large personality of wit and charm.

I remember hearing of his ‘erased de Kooning’ while I was in school. That piece made me smile. It stuck with me (I made a small piece referencing it last year) and that off-kilter approach to things still has a strong appeal.

Rauschenberg had the ability “to see beyond what others have decided should be the limits of art.” (A nice quote from the painter Jack Tworkov)

Amen.
