Robert Rauschenberg
1925 – 2008
The art critic Robert Hughes once described the influencial and controversial american artist Robert Rauschenbergas “a protean genius who showed America that all of life could be open to art.” Adding that his “taste was always facile, omnivorous, and hit-or-miss, yet he had a bigness of soul and a richness of temperament that re called Walt Whitman.”
