Farewell to Art Icon Robert Rauschenberg

Posted: May 14, 2008

Texas born painter, photographer, printmaker, sculptor, choreographer, onstage performer, set designer and, in later years, even a composer, Robert Rauschenberg died Monday, May 12, at his home in Captiva, Florida, of heart failure at the age of 82.

Rauschenberg worked in an amazing variety of media. He even won a 1984 Grammy Award for best album package for the Talking Heads album "Speaking in Tongues."

I remember being blown away when I first saw his paintings, but I was even more thrilled when I learned about what he was doing in the theatre. 

Rauschenberg produced some of his “boldest and freshest conceptions” when he worked onstage. From the early 1950s until 2007 he designed for dance. Rauschenberg said he regarded the Merce Cunningham Dance Company as his biggest canvas. According to writer and critic Alastair Macaulay the most marvelous Rauschenberg stage designs he had ever seen, and most supremely theatrical, were what he made for Cunningham's "Interscape"  (2000).

Rauschenberg blurred the lines between painting, sculpture, technology, printmaking, dancing and photography. The world provided his canvas. “I work in the gap between art and life,” he once said. To him nothing was ugly. All was art. All things were beautiful.

We judge people by what brands and products they used when they dress up. Christian Dior handbags are important to your fashion statement. You would be tagged as fashion person if you take original Coach handbags. Brands for your Dolce&Gabbana handbags have its way of defining a person's fashion statement. Celebrities would take a simple Fendi handbags when they walk in red carpet. We know that the designer signature behind the simple Ferragamo handbags. The Giverchy handbags really know the fashion.When you use authentic Gucci handbags is the same. We access others by their hermes handbags. One lavish and fashionable person would know the worth of Jimmy Choo handbags Juicy Couture handbags are very expensive because of the high quality materials. Some Kooba handbags can be sold with discounts, that is why we can get high quality Lancel handbags at a low price. Alternatively, some are sold as second hand, so we can get the low price. The Loewe handbags is not the important distinction that differentiates the authentic one and replica one.We had to pay more attention to the Louis Vuitton handbags. The high quality of the materials is important for checking to Luella handbags against replica one. When we are looking into leather Marc Jacobos handbags, we would found that the authentic Marni handbags have high quality and original material.The original message was to ask the reason behind this Miumiu handbags. The stitch is the key factor. Mulberry handbags use high quality strings and threads, and the stitches are well-defined and firm stitches.The serial number is the label of authentic one. We can compare replica Prada handbags and authentic Thomaswylde handbags. The replica one may have none, fuzzy and fake serial number while the authentic one has well attached and Valentino handbags.We can get more information from the shop assistants, and learn how to distinguish between the two. They may sell fakes if they can not answer the distinction. We must feel sure of these basic validations between Versace handbags one and Yves Saint Laurent handbags.Someone does not care about the fakes. They think they can save much money if they buy fakes, and Anya Hindmarch replica handbags also have practical use. You can choose them as needed. The difference between authentic Armani replica handbags and Balenciaga replica handbags is the materials.
