X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><strong>A Library Speakers Consortium and 
 Smithsonian Institution Collaboration</strong></p>\n<p>Join us for a capti
 vating online conversation with acclaimed author and Smithsonian curator C
 arolyn Russo as we dive into her fascinating book\, The Ascent of Rauschen
 berg. Explore the towering legacy\, unexpected inspirations\, and creative
  heights of one of America's most influential artistic icons.</p>\n<p>Most
  famous for his groundbreaking "Combines"&mdash\;painting and sculpture hy
 brids that often incorporated everyday objects&mdash\;American artist Robe
 rt Rauschenberg (1925-2008) created within a range of mediums\, including 
 collage\, performance\, photography\, and printmaking. But a connective ti
 ssue through it all was his fascination with flight. The Ascent of Rausche
 nberg explores the flight motif across his work\, spanning birds\, insects
 \, aviation\, spaceflight\, sensory experiences\, and metaphors for his ow
 n life.</p>\n<p>More 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 fligh
 t themes and subtleties that might otherwise be overlooked. The book also 
 includes archival photographs and personal papers from the Robert Rauschen
 berg Foundation.</p>\n<p>Register now for the chance to view art history t
 hrough the unique prism of flight.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>For more information and
