Less well known is the role that writing played in his creative process. Rauschenberg self-identified as dyslexic and did not publish extensively, leading to the widely held assumption that he was not an artist who wrote. \u003cem\u003eI Don't Think About Being Great\u003c\/em\u003e corrects the record, showcasing 100 passages, many published here for the first time, from Rauschenberg's robust body of written work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComprising correspondence, artist notes, testimony, speeches, and more, this collection brings to light the artist's love of language and reveals that writing was, in fact, central to Rauschenberg's practice.
