A Toast to Rauschenberg

May 13, 2008 By Kim Pierceall

Sadly, one of my favorite artists passed on today. Robert Rauschenberg’s “combines” of imagery and color often conveyed moving social commentary but the blurred layering effects and washes resulted in a velvety-glove presentation. I have always found his work to be intellectually stimulating and yet somehow gentle — even with visions of military helicopters or other birds of prey crowding the seams. After reading his obit today, I found this RR quote on the Rauschenberg wiki: “It is impossible to have progress without conscience.” A wise sentiment and one that his work embodies.

Thank you Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City for showing me my first Rauschenberg works.
