The history behind it made the painting even more amazing...

@AGL23 4 года назад

My first thought of the portrait was that it’s resembling an incredibly handsome man. Strikingly handsome. Then I find out that they were both sailors, sitting close together showing a great friendship. Art is a crazy thing... 😏

Amazing. I worked for Rauschenberg in the mid 80's. He was an incredible guy and not stuck up. He deserved his fame. RIP Bob

@markuss3735 10 месяцев назад

So did I. I worked with him on Set, Reset and also on ROCI. I worked with him in the NY studio and also visited him on Captiva where he did a panel of me that is now part of the 1/4 Mile Painting. I know David White as well. Bob was an incredible artist and wonderful human being. I was very honoured to have known him. I wasn't aware that Bib had painted portraits. It really is a stunning painting. Not just because it was painted by Robert Rauschenberg.

@themonkeyhand 2 года назад

I think "earliest known" would be the safe term and it may not even be correct. May be a good reason the professional just steered clear of that bit, I'd expect the curator would have noted as much on the 2001 authentication. In any case pinning a first to any artist is kinda shady, they all have tons of work made before any decent work ever comes to fruition.

Bob (Rauschenberg) must have had a painful crush on the dude, Navy and all. So he just went home and painted out of memory the guy in the most hunklike form possible. God knows what else he was doing in that night when he was painting the 'sailor'!

@thruErinseyes 5 лет назад

clarence spencer no he said a couple days later he painted that. Sounds like that was his first painting. That’s a very very important painting in his career. Plus obviously very sentimental to the father who kept it hanging his whole life. I think they were very close.

@thruErinseyes 5 лет назад

David Fenton because to me it sounds like he started his art career with his father. By what he said. They went to an art show together before they shipped out. And then he says “I think I can do that”. And I mean to me he said a couple days later he tried to do a portrait and so his dad was his first painting period. I think out of everything men do before shipping out going to art shows with men and painting them sounds pretty special. I would think that would make this his most valuable piece of art!

@kimaboe 4 года назад

Rauschenberg was gay, so if not in love, likely attracted to him at least. It shows in the work. It might be worth a lot, but this is something that should never be sold, given the family connection I'd keep this as an heirloom and write a will to ensure it wasn't sold for profit.

I'll be honest, I had never heard the name of the artist. But to think you have a before-fame work of an artist who later became famous - that shows a bit of their way to fame, their youth, their development. It's the beginning of a journey, if you will. Much more exciting than just a painting that someone bought.

The experts always lowball because the market could change within a year of their appraisal. That and they can't control what the max price will be at auction because a massive bidding war can take place.

@TommyChardonneret 11 месяцев назад

It has long disappointed me that the American "Art World" mostly refuses to explore Robert Rauschenberg being a gay man and the implications of that reality for his very empathetic portraiture of some classically inspirational men, just as inspirational as those young men who were the symbolic models for Michelangelo's most virtuous portrayals in his paintings and sculptures. But true to age old American Puritan traditions, anything anywhere near being characterized as "sexual" MUST be denied and glossed over!
