So long, it's been good to know you.


One of my long-time favorite artists, Robert Rauschenberg, has passed away. Since I am nursing a shoulder injury today, it was a good opportunity for me to pull out the two big books I have about this prolific and highly influential artist and take a little trip down memory lane. In later years, I appreciated the special connection Rauschenberg had with Portland, which was very nicely documented in this article by the Oregonian's arts writer D.K. Row.

I also enjoyed this article from the New York Times about his lifelong collaborations with the dance world.
