[Daniel LeSaint · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book for getting the feel for the art of Robert Rauschenberg. I've been mesmerized by the cover art of this book since first seeing the large original print version that was featured on the television show "Frasier". I have since acquired my own original print of the artwork, but there's a lot more to Rauschenberg than that one print. I believe he was an artist of incredible depth and insight and encourage anyone interested to discover his message for yourself.

Art books are slowly, but surely becoming my thing.
