Robert Rauschenberg, American Artist, Dies at 82

Robert Rauschenberg has been a huge influence and inspiration in my life/art/design. I just found out that he passed away last month. He is one of those people I would want to have at my table if I could invite any 10 people over.

I thought this was a nice excerpt from the NYT article. It reminds me a lot of me.

“Screwing things up is a virtue,” he said when he was 74. “Being correct is never the point. I have an almost fanatically correct assistant, and by the time she re-spells my words and corrects my punctuation, I can’t read what I wrote. Being right can stop all the momentum of a very interesting idea.”
