'Life, Death, & Art' or 'Like sands through the hourglass... so are the Days of Our Lives'

Happy birthday to Marisol Escobar today (above). Stop by the Museum, where her 'Cocktail Party' can just as easily be a birthday party.

Also today we mourn the death of Robert Rauschenberg. Who, on May 12th, was unfortunately erased from the art world like a de Kooning sketch. Post-abstract expressionism, pre-pop, this man was in a world all his own.
