Robert Rauschenberg 

such a naturally talented artist. his work is so joyful

Very well produced video ! Thank you for that.

It's a great idea to fill the gap between life and arts. Thank you for your video.

Very informative, insightful, and inspirational! Great video! 😊👍

I adore his work

I dare any of you "my 4-year old brother can do better" guys, I double dare you. Can this brother of yours also *frustrate our preconceptions* or procure *shared spaces* for the interior view? Are your infant siblings capable to live in the *gap between art and life* or even bridge it? Where would a 4-year old get a *stuffed goat* or pictures of his *homosexual lover,* to begin with? Every parent knows only too well that toddlers are more than able to squeeze things out of other things, but they are not aware of the fact that they're doing so in a *continuum between two poles.* Are you able to *get at that space* the way Rauschenberg did? And most importantly, does your 4-year old brother also give other artists that *enormous sense of permission?*

He once said “ “If I walked completely around the block and didn’t find enough to work with, I could take one other block and walk around it in any direction - but that was it.” Of course a block or two in New York isn’t exactly an empty parking lot.

What's the piece 1:43 ?

I find interesting how most of this kind of videos that are made by art institutions tend to omit the inherent political context of art. The work of Rauschenberg, just like Jasper Johns, Jess and all these artists situated in the transition between american expresionism and pop art is influenced by the political and cultural context of the Greenbergian art suprematism, heavily inspired by ultra nationalist, homophobic and sexist ideologies. These artists are literally formed inside that political frame, but with the Cold War and the rediscovery of the work of Marcel Duchamp, the apolitical aspects of the American Abstract Expressionism start to shatter in the minds of these artists, and because of that they begin to ridicule and satirise the cynical valors of the american artstyle. THAT'S what makes it fascinating and that's why Rauschenberg should be your hero.

I forgot how awesome Robert's artwork is.

i love it

Choices are there for fools to take... direction is the choices genius make

Sooooo intresting

Henry Moore.

The "art" are the superlatives that these "experts" come up with.

Now I know why I had never heard of this guy.

"He's my hero." How about an explanation.

Note to amateur artists: if you want people to really get into your slap-dash assemblages, smear some bright color paints over parts of it. (2:51) Straight out of the tube is best. About Rauschenberg giving other "artists permission to do whatever they want": that was not a concern of his. Bob was focused on what he was doing, not what other artists might do.

Very interesting. Didn't like everything, but never the less quite interesting. Now I need to get myself a lover and change my name from Newton to something like "El Supremo" or "The Master" or "Xytoply" or "Corrugated Custard, with knobs on it big time Smith" You know, something catchy. Something it's impossible to forget. I mean, Chris Newton is a bit too pedestrian don't you think - But seriously, the video was OK. But one last condition. I'm NOT turning gay. I love women too much. Not often enough these daze, but they are my first and only choice. So sorry lads I'm spoken for. Well not yet. When I hit the big time I'll have the time of my life, but with women, no gay lovers. That's definitely out for sure.

my brain 1: ''oh He is like ACDC!'' my brain 2: ''what do you mean! How!?" my brain 1: "both are overvalued" my brain 2: "ahah, yeah it's true:)"! my brain 3: it's just smiling for the whole time

1:26 replace "form" with "shit" is going to make more sense

I've never felt like puking from looking at art.... Thank you for this experience. You have to be incredibly delusional to see this as art, you'd have to be trying to force yourselves into looking at the ugly and seeing it as beautiful.

Lol could do better in my sleep

There is no discipline or skill in this work. There is no beauty. If anything, its another form of shock art but only shocking that it is considered art. I would be interested in learning about how Rauschenberg became known. If you listen to the man give an interview it seems as even he cannot give a quality explanation of his work. This stuff is the antithesis of culture.

I'm still convinced that, at some level, these artists are trying to be funny.

Disgrace to modern art, pretentious.

disgrace horrorful atrocius sense of "4R+" to make money without discipline

That is art for the non-talented.

maybe the artist is sophisticated and interesting, but this interview is pretentious af

My auntie Daren could do better

this kind of stuff gave intellectuals an excuse for a career
