“Screwing things up is a virtue,” said Robert Rauschenburg. “Being correct is never the point."
From Josef Albers, Rauschenberg "gained a respect for the grid as an essential compositional organizing tool."
Hmmmm.....
"Kicking around Europe and North Africa with the artist Cy Twombly ... Rauschenberg began to collect and assemble objects — bits of rope, stones, sticks, bones — which he showed to a dealer in Rome who exhibited them under the title 'scatole contemplative,' or thought boxes."
Around 1959, Rauschenberg developed a "transfer drawing technique, dissolving printed images from newspapers and magazines with a solvent and then rubbing them onto paper with a pencil. The process ... created the impression of something fugitive, exquisite and secret."
Fugitive, exquisite, and secret.....
