R.I.P. Robert Rauschenberg

Today, I came across a headline that caught my eye. "Titan of American Art, is Dead at 82". Although I'm young, I have a pretty good encyclopedia of famous people in my head. However, I was unfamiliar with the name, Robert Rauschenberg. After reading this NY Times Story by Michael Kimmelman, I'm sure I would have liked to have learned about him before he passed.

Kimmelman describes him as follows, "A brash, garrulous, hard-drinking, open-faced Southerner, he had a charm and peculiar Delphic felicity with language that nevertheless masked a complex personality and an equally multilayered emotional approach to art, which evolved as his stature did."

If you've got the time and inclination, read over that story and take a moment to consider your own journey through life's always uneven paths.
