Robert Rauschenberg, Dies at 82.
Some people just have a way of putting things together and inventing. Robert Rauschenburg’s collage, sculpture, painting and screenprint had a big impact on me growing up. There are the well-known pieces, but so many random ones: a light-exposed six-foot tall sheet of blueprint paper from 1950. From the New York Times: “No American artist, Jasper Johns once said, invented more than Mr. Rauschenberg.” Big statement (if its true, Juan is a close second), but this is seriously good stuff, man. Rest in peace.

Bummer. At least he went out before he got bamboozled into making a GAP t shirt.
