Rauschenberg

Have just heard that Robert Rauschenberg has died. A real loss. One of my all time heroes. A giant among painters and a true innovator. Blows all the sh** outta the usual mediocre suspects that get lauded and applauded by arswipes. His work is just so envigorating and enlivening. I well remember an art student in my foundation year discovering his work and never looking back.

A colourful character and a seminal member of the New York School (along with a who's who of modern painting) he forged a new language and style.

Absolutely wonderful.

RIP RR - Lux Eterna
