Mr. Rauschenberg’s work gave new meaning to sculpture. “Canyon,” for instance, consisted of a stuffed bald eagle attached to a canvas. “Monogram” was a stuffed Angora goat girdled by a tire atop a painted panel. “Bed” entailed a quilt, sheet and pillow, slathered with paint, as if soaked in blood, framed on the wall. They all became icons of postwar modernism. | requiescat in pace, rr.

He was my favorite living artist. Wrote two papers on him and his work in college. Very sad to lose him.

I'd love to read them. I admired him above all.

He was mine, too. I am terribly sad to see him go.

The Times article on RR was very good, quite in depth. It is sad to lose an art- hero. I haven't lost any of mine yet so I wonder how it will affect me...It might feel a little like becoming an island...not sure.
