Robert Rauschenberg

Yesterday May 13 Robert Rauschenberg died at the age of 82 - described by the NYT's as a Titan of American art - This is one of his quotes ;

"Screwing things up is a virtue. Being correct is never the point. I have an almost fanatically correct assistant, and by the time she respells my words and corrects my punctuation, I cant read what I wrote. Being right can stop all the momentum of a very interesting idle"
