Summary

This quote humorously highlights the speaker's attitude towards martini consumption. They enjoy indulging in a maximum of two martinis, appreciating the drink's taste and effects. However, the quote suggests that after having three, the speaker becomes quite intoxicated and ends up losing control. By the time they reach four martinis, their level of intoxication is so high that they are completely "under the host" or completely intoxicated. This quote serves as a lighthearted reminder of the limits one should set when it comes to enjoying alcoholic beverages.

I love Rauschenberg. I love that he created a turning point in visual history, that he redefined the idea of beauty, that he combined painting, sculpture, photography, and everyday life with such gall, and that he was interested in, as he put it, 'the ability to conceive failure as progress.'
