a quote: i think a painting is more like the real world if it’s made out of the real world.
i was introduced to rauschenberg many years ago, by my mother. i have followed his work, in one way or another, since. he was a great creator. the nytimes writer: “a brash, garrulous, hard-drinking, open-faced southerner, he had a charm and peculiar delphic felicity with language that masked a complex personality and an equally multilayered emotional approach to art, which evolved as his stature did.” damn, what a sentence.
