De Kooning reluctantly agreed, and Rauschenberg….. well…. Rauschenberg erased it, and put it in a lovely gold frame with an inscription that said “ERASED de KOONING DRAWING, ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG, 1953”. Once again, art history gives me the giggles. Existential philosophies not ignored, when you make a mark and then erase it, it is very different than if you’d not made a mark at all. Today, draw for at least 12 minutes. Use a variety of nice, well intentioned dark marks, and then…. erase it. Please, please oh please, post your erased drawing to this post on our Facebook page (#salchallenge) if for no other reason than seeing a line of erased sketch pages will give us the giggles.
