Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008)



I'm shocked really, don't know why I am. None of us live forever. I am sad to realize there can never be more work from Robert Rauschenberg. Mr. Rauschenberg died on Monday night at his home on Captiva Island, Fla. He was 82. The reported cause was heart failure."A painter, photographer, printmaker, choreographer, onstage performer, set designer and, in later years, even a composer, Mr. Rauschenberg defied the traditional idea that an artist stick to one medium or style. He pushed, prodded and sometimes reconceived all the mediums in which he worked."
