Robert Whitman (May 23, 1935 – January 19, 2024) was an American artist best known for his seminal theater pieces of the early 1960s combining visual and sound images, actors, film, slides, and evocative props in environments of his own making.
In November 1966, he founded Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) with engineers Billy Klüver, Fred Waldhauer and Robert Rauschenberg. In the latter half of the 1960s, Whitman explored the optical effects produced by combining convex/concave mirrors, lasers and light projections.
The Whitman Archive has made available all of the known short stories by Whitman, as well as his temperance novel Franklin Evans (1842) and a bibliography of reprints of Whitman's fiction in periodicals.
Walt Whitman is America’s world poet—a latter-day successor to Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Shakespeare. In Leaves of Grass (1855, 1891-2), he celebrated democracy, nature, love, and friendship. This monumental work chanted praises to the body as well as to the soul, and found beauty and reassurance even in death.
We are pleased to announce the publication of nearly 800 newspaper editorials, likely authored by Whitman, that appeared in the Brooklyn Daily Times in the late 1850s.

Jun 30, 2015 · Widely considered the American father of free verse, Whitman has been celebrated by poets from Federico García Lorca and Pablo Neruda to Langston Hughes and Patricia Lockwood. His irreverence inspired the surrealists, the Beats, and the New York School. Critic Harold Bloom called Leaves of Grass part of the “secular scripture of the United States.”
