Label Text:
A graduate of the influential Black Mountain College in North Carolina, Robert Rauschenberg, gained prominence in the New York art scene as his “Neo Dadaist” work was often seen as a transition between Abstract Expressionism and Pop. Robert Rauschenberg often drew upon actual everyday objects to create his works of art. Famous for his combines and works of accumulation, Rauschenberg here collects printed debris into a fragmented whole. Rauschenberg appropriates images from mass media, the art historical canon, and everyday life. By combining these images of industry, war, art history, and correspondence Rauschenberg presents the viewer with a fractured image of the present.
