I love Rauschenberg. I love that he created a turning point in visual history that he redefined the idea of beauty that he combined painting sculpture photography and everyday life with such gall and that he was interested in as he put it 'the ability to conceive failure as progress.'
Robert Rauschenberg was not a giant of American art he was the giant. No American created so many aesthetic openings for so many artists.
Teenage girls these days are more and more getting lured into thinking they should dumb themselves down and that's going to attract the wrong kind of guy and it's serious. It's serious business.
