Robert Rauschenberg

I like Robert because he is colorful and abstract. he uses mixed media to convey his point. i like how he mixes his sculpting and painting skills to show what was going on in his time period.
      Robert Rauschenberg was born on October 22, 1925 in Port Arthur, Texas  to Dora and Ernest Rauschenburg.  he attended multiple art schools  Kansas City Art Institute Académie Julian Black Mountain College Art Students League of New York because he wanted to be free to create and expand his ideas. after he graduated he married Susan Weil in 1950 and they had a son Christopher. in his art career he was refereed to as in the gap between art and life which meant his pieces question the difference between art objects and everyday objects. he influenced his son to become a photographer and is still a cherished artist by many especially his son and second partner Darryl Pottorf who still hold art shows and exhibits with his art after his death at the age of 82 from heart failer from his own decision to go off his respirator in 2008.
       if find that Robert founded the experiments in art and technology a nonprofit organization that promotes collaborations between artists and engineers so that artists can see the technicalities of art and incorporate it in there work and also so engineers can be a little more creative and inventive in there work. i find this interesting because it is a different collaboration of people but they work together to help both fields of work.
