Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008)

Painter, printer sculpture: This guy was the man. I can only hope to someday create something as wild and influential as his work. Can't find a online gallery to link, but this site has links to his pieces all over the web. Check it out. (Obit via Chicago Tribune)

  1. RIP. this guy is a modern renaissance man, seems like every art class i took would talk with reverence about his revolutionary approach to the technique (photography, sculpture, and especially printmaking).
