SUMMARY:Art in Flight: Reinventing Postmodernism with Smithsonian Curator Carolyn Russo
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoin us for a captivating online conversation with 
 acclaimed author and Smithsonian curator Carolyn Russo as we dive into her 
 fascinating book\, The Ascent of Rauschenberg. Explore the towering 
 legacy\, unexpected inspirations\, and creative heights of one of America's 
 most influential artistic icons.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister 
 here:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMost famous for his 
 groundbreaking "Combines"—painting and sculpture hybrids that often 
 incorporated everyday objects—American artist Robert Rauschenberg 
 (1925-2008) created within a range of mediums\, including collage\, 
 performance\, photography\, and printmaking. But a connective tissue 
 through it all was his fascination with flight. The Ascent of Rauschenberg 
 explores the flight motif across his work\, spanning birds\, insects\, 
 aviation\, spaceflight\, sensory experiences\, and metaphors for his own 
 life.\n\nMore than 150 images reveal the vibrant scope of his work\, from 
 lithographs inspired by the Apollo 11 launch that NASA invited him to 
 witness and document\, to a Combine featuring a taxidermied eagle that 
 evokes Roman mythology. Nine accompanying essays reflect on his many flight 
 themes and subtleties that might otherwise be overlooked. The book also 
 includes archival photographs and personal papers from the Robert 
 Rauschenberg Foundation.\n\nRegister now for the chance to view art history 
 through the unique prism of flight. \n\nAbout the Author:\n\nCarolyn Russo 
 is curator of the art collection at the Smithsonian's National Air and 
 Space Museum. She has lectured internationally on the subject of art and 
 flight and is the author of several publications including The Ascent of 
 Rauschenberg: Reinventing the Art of Flight\, Art of the Airport Tower\, In 
 Plane View: Abstractions of Flight\, and Women and Flight: Portraits of 
 Contemporary Women Pilots.\n\n
