 ost famous for his groundbreaking "Combines"&mdash\;painting and sculpture
  hybrids that often incorporated everyday objects&mdash\;American artist R
 obert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) created within a range of mediums\, includi
 ng collage\, performance\, photography\, and printmaking. But a connective
  tissue through it all was his fascination with flight. <em>The Ascent of 
 Rauschenberg</em> explores the flight motif across his work\, spanning bir
 ds\, insects\, aviation\, spaceflight\, sensory experiences\, and metaphor
 s for his own life.</p>\n<p><br />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 taxid
 ermied eagle that evokes Roman mythology. Nine accompanying essays reflect
  on his many flight themes and subtleties that might otherwise be overlook
 ed. The book also includes archival photographs and personal papers from t
 he Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.</p>\n<p>Register now for the chance to
