3. Robert Rauschenberg From the White Painting Series (1951)
”Airports for lights, shadows and particles” -John Cage
‘I always thought of the white paintings as being not passive , but very --well, hypersensitive. So one could look at them and see how many people were in the room by the shadows cast, or what time of day it was.’ - Rauschenberg
