Rauschenberg is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of the past 100 years. When I was 18 I had the privilege to view a retrospective of his work in Houston. Then to my surprise he was there and gave a 30 minute talk about his work.

[@MariaAyub-ma-sentient24]

Such an open person and very eloquent. His smile was so beautiful.

[@stevenp2883]

INCREDIBLE PERSON. I'm devastated by Rauschenberg (in the best way possible). I hang on his every word. He is literally ZEN.

[@dmswanson5694]

Thank you for posting. Robert Rauschenberg is becoming a stealth presence in my art; disconcerting, but I'm adapting. Again. many thanks for this posting.

[@JAGBRG]

Love Robert and his work❤️

[@arlieferguson3990]

To me his general demeanor seems to reflect a 1950's sensibility: an open sentimentality, a kind of innocence and purity and optimism that were complicated and lost following the Vietnam War years.

[@firouz256]

His make up is flawless in the studio interview: I am jealous! His highlights and blush are poppin`

[@havefunbesafe]

I would love for him to talk about himself and Cy in the early days.

[@08bourquem]

shit got mad awkward after the drinking question, should have stuck to his life and his works

[@nickfanzo]

Oh well...had to be asked at some point no?

[@steveturpin4242]

Great interview of a thinker, a personality and brilliant artist. Thanks.

[@johnfeliceCeprano]

WHOA! This is a great! Wonderful to have this info- inspiration... Pollack Rothko Gottlieb are the other side ... a balance with strain, pain, and wonder .. detached / thanks for this wonderful post .. many times

[@adamtettran7471]

My favorite artist

[@webmediafactors4]

I think Mr. Rose is used to interviewing subjects with more narcissism; ask a small, vague question and they expound. Rauschenberg doesnt seem that kind of person.

[@specialkittie6775]

Exactly! U notice it in the very first question. I couldnt explain why the interviewer was so immediately awkward but this is it!

[@JohnSampson]

Ah, well, Charlie doesn't know how to interview Robert.

[@albertklassen6055]

You are so very correct.

[@specialkittie6775]

Jesus in the last question of the full video the way the charlie person just stares at him with a smile painted on waiting for rob to be finished speaking is RLY creepy!!

[@justinevirtue1755]

Charlie doesn't get what Robert is saying. The part about curiosity for example. The things Bob is saying are profound and deep.

[@benblume6623]

Yes im with you. he doesnt give him time to think about his answers. And when he say somehting important he changes the topic. But this is television. There is a time limit. such a bullshit. there shouldnt be a time limit with important interviews.

[@callie.envoyage]

Love Robert... terrible job by Charlie... yuck

[@MexTexican]

This is kinda difficult to watch. Mr Rose 🌹 is out if his depth.

[@tonywalton1052]

13:30 "depressed about what?" Great question dodo Charlie

[@elizabethmasterman5146]

"This has been a great life?!" ...That killed me with laughter. Wow.

[@deniselagrotta1073]

wonderful!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@YogurtAndBanana]

Hard to watch this guy interviewing Rauschenberg. He seems to lack direction and depth. Nonetheless the artist responds so gently!

[@johnfeliceCeprano]

great that he spoke about his relationship with Jasper Johns... and it's non compliance to the Warhol generation, which was & is Absolute

[@janvindevogel8405]

Great!

[@mehrdadmohajer3847]

What a person can possibly hide something from any one!!? We, and by that i mean, each one of us KNOWS him/her/it Selfs very good!!!?... as Germans put it nicely : ".... Each Ones has a dead body in the Basement !!! " Therefor mine hut up to this unique talented Artist & many thanks to him & to you & those who made it possibl🍻

[@benblume6623]

how the interviewer is touching him to walk in the guggenheim...it gives me a cold weird feeling

[@judyonzen]

Both men i respected most in their fields. Charlie Ross...you dont see such class quality of journalist around anymore in these internet mad space...

[@liammcooper]

Charlie Rose had to step down from his position because he repeatedly sexually harassed women under his employment at CBS. He's definitely not a "class quality of journalist".

[@thumbprint7150]

Judy, you won't see Charlie at all now (see reasons above). But actually, he was a sh*t interviewer when it came to anything or anyone subtle.

[@jf3715]

Hahahah ha hold on...hahahhahahahah ....it’s just...but...Charlie Rose is such a legendary...scumbag?

[@davidjohnsmith2001]

I am wondering how I get my own life and work documented . Maybe even a book .

[@teletubbiestunetwister9570]

Rausschenberg is amazing and graceful. Rose did a terrible job here... and so touchy and patronizing. yuck.

[@tokctoo]

... and yet, Charlie Rose should have rehearsed in his mind not dropping the towel.

[@RichMitch]

A printmaker? I like a good print, will *investigate*

[@andreasfrank8635]

"... i would have loved to have done Rauschenberg's..."

[@EndOfEntertainment]

Cool stuff :)

[@isobellep]

Not a good interviewer - he doesn’t understand Rauschenberg. Fortunately the artist is accommodating.

[@damookie]

Charlie rose is the worst interviewer in the world, so full of ego and self importance, he got to interview the most amazing people in the world and managed to screw it up every time.

[@john27609]

I came to find out if Rauschenberg was gay. Saw his first portrait on an Antiques Roadshow KZbin video and it certainly makes me believe. Did he not want to address that question?

[@anthonymorton3074]

pretty untactful of charlie to have asked about drinking

[@stacycreates24]

Anthony Charles Morton but it was a big Achilles heal for him,and his work wasn't so great.

[@StephenS-2024]

It's heel but, you just inspired a painting: ' Achilles Heal' I like it. Thanks.

[@nickfanzo]

As an alcoholic, I don't see the issue.

[@drinkmoreoj]

1997

[@earlrobicheaux2632]

The highest purpose is to have no purpose.

[@ragasthegascap1]

Rauschenberg is from the same town as Janis Joplin. Must be something in the water, or, the fumes from the refineries.

[@nononouh]

[@sittingstill3578]

Charlie Rose usually opens up his guests but Rauschenberg won’t follow his cues.

[@luc7937]

Love

[@phantompanther648]

One talent he has , " Reminding you of Dick Van Dyke...." ..so. difficult to ...watch....

[@albertklassen6055]

I’m actually disappointed that He would stoop so low to be interviewed and then I thought - even God sent himself to save the world. He stopped low to connect to the world after they refused to listen to him.

[@evelynramos445]

No

[@fruitcakedrifter1286]

His art always looked like his personal scrapbook . The spin doctors keep spinning their lies about his talent. His boyfriends art is much better.

[@specialkittie6775]

Oh charlie he disgusted me. Reallyshite interview style. Topic was apparently roberts art exhibit! It tore me to see him do that to robert

[@tequila_tibbs7938]

e

[@specialkittie6775]

Oh charlie..its obvious u do rehearse but ok.

[@albertklassen6055]

This is what happens when you attempt to interview God.

[@igormendonca4026]

disagreeable ISFJ

[@chezceleste]

Cringe-making interview...Rose clearly doesn't have a clue about artists and art

[@awesomeaxiegameplays7296]

Modern art = rubbish

[@MontyCantsin5]

Thanks for that meaningless comment.

[@hopalongcassidy4260]

Monty Cantsin lol and wouldnt you love to buy his comment and put it on museum wall!

[@thumbprint7150]

Thanks Nilo. You made me laugh for the first time today. Why aren't you on television; with such succinct views, you'd kill it.

[@davidgilfillan1934]

Define what you think Modern Art is.

[@jf3715]

Monty Cantsin 👏👏👏👏
