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.
