ΣΑΝ ΣΗΜΕΡΑ. ΤΖΑΣΠΕΡ ΤΖΟΟΥΝΣ

Jasper Johns(15/5/1930) and Robert Rauschenberg
Johns and Rauschenberg have never explicitly said they were lovers in the 1950s, but the art historical jury seems to be out (no pun intended) and most people accept that the two men were romantically linked. Talk about a power couple, eh?
Some critics go so far as to tie their gender into their art historical legacies. Johnathan Katz pushes the thesis that Abstract Expressionism was a monolithic, macho art, which Mr. Johns and Mr. Rauschenberg were in "joint opposition" to.
