1961 was another important year for Johns. He made his first trip to Europe. He purchased the house in Edisto Beach and began living and working there for part of the year. The house was near the water, and its relative isolation and the changing light created a different set of conditions for his art. But along with these developments came another, less happy change – the end of his relationship with Rauschenberg. Both artists declined to talk about what caused their relationship to end, although friends had seen signs of a growing strain for some months. When the break finally came, it was sufficiently bitter that for many years Johns and Rauschenberg avoided each other’s company.
