American artist Robert Rauschenberg died yesterday at the age of 82.
He was a pioneer in the area of mixed media art and I always liked his work. He was provocative and forward thinking in his art and if you look at some of my art my one of my many Flickr photo sets then you can see I owe him a great debt because he influenced me greatly.

A truly great artist, and a sad milestone. I had the pleasure of meeting him once and he was a kind and generous soul. Each time I pass his building on Lafayette St. I get a smile when I see the name Rauschenberg scrawled into the sidewalk.
Lovely post, MM.
