When I ran out of red, I pricked my finger and rubbed it into the skin tone.\u201d After bootcamp, Rauschenberg was assigned to the hospital corps at Camp Pendleton, near San Diego. Before he reported for duty, he visited the Huntington Gardens, where three paintings changed his life:\u00a0<em>Pinkie<\/em>\u00a0by Thomas Lawrence,\u00a0<em>The Blue Boy<\/em>\u00a0by Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds\u2019s<em>Sarah Siddons as the Tragic Muse<\/em>. Up until this point, Rauschenberg had never seen original oil paintings and had no idea there was such a thing as\u00a0<em>being an artist<\/em>. What struck him, he told\u00a0<em>Time<\/em>\u00a0magazine\u2019s Robert Hughes was \u201c\u2026behind each of them was a man whose profession it was to make them.
