Robert Rauschenberg Art

American, 1925-2008

Robert Rauschenberg was one of the preeminent American artists of the 20th century, occupying a singular position that straddled the Abstract Expressionist and Pop art movements, drawing on key elements of each. An artistic polymath equally adept at painting, collage and silkscreening, Rauschenberg is best known for for the complex assemblages of found objects he termed “combines.”

Rauschenberg was born in Port Arthur, Texas, in 1925. He first began to seriously consider a career in art in 1947, while serving in the U.S. Marines. After leaving the service, he briefly studied art in Paris with support from the G.I. Bill, then moved to North Carolina to attend Black Mountain College, home to a flourishing cross-disciplinary art community. Among his peers there were choreographer Merce Cunningham and composer John Cage, both of whom became friends and artistic collaborators.

Relocating to New York in the mid-1950s, Rauschenberg was initially put off by what he perceived as the self-seriousness of the adherents of Abstract Expressionism, then the dominant movement in the New York art world. Like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg was drawn to the visual landscape of popular culture and mined its imagery for inspiration. He used unorthodox materials like house paint and tried novel techniques in his studio like running paper over with a car whose wheels he had inked. Shortly after his inaugural solo exhibition at Leo Castelli Gallery, which featured paintings and drawings, he pivoted to a new format, creating his first found-object combines, which became his signature. The most famous of these is the 1959 Monogram in which a taxidermied goat is surrounded by a car tire, recalling the way a person’s initials are interwoven in the design referred to by the title.

Later in the 1960s, Rauschenberg turned his attention to silkscreening, creating prints that feature iconic figures of the day, very much in line with the style and content of Pop art. One such work, 1965's Core, which was created to commemorate the Congress of Racial Equality, combines photographs of President Kennedy, an unidentified Native American man, and a statue of a Civil War soldier with images of highways, amusement parks, street signs, and other features of the built environment. A circular color-test wheel sits at the composition’s formal core, reflecting the work’s commentary on race and ethnicity.

Throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, Rauschenberg experimented with printing on unusual materials, such as Plexiglas, clothing and aluminum. Venturing even further afield, he created performance works, such as his 1963 choreographed piece “Pelican” and the 1966 film Open Score. In 1998, the Guggenheim Museum presented a large and comprehensive retrospective of Rauschenberg’s work, highlighting his influence on American art in the second half of the 20th century.

"At Leo's", Poster Print of Collage, Colors, and Drawing, Signed by the Artist
By Robert Rauschenberg
Located in Detroit, MI
"At Leo's" is in the Pop Art style that fit Rauschenberg's fun sense of creativity. It is colorful and bold. Studying it seems like a map of extraordinary clues to some great secret. In fact a specific address is given along with a map of part of New York city and the name of a person, Leo. Rauschenberg's signature is on the lower left. Robert Rauschenberg, the irrepressibly prolific American artist, is known as the one who time and again reshaped art in the 20th century. He was a painter, photographer, printmaker, choreographer, onstage performer, and set designer. In later years, it is said, he was even a composer. He defied the traditional idea that an artist must stick to one medium or style. He pushed, prodded and sometimes reconceived all the mediums in which he worked. Similar to the artists, Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters, Joseph Cornell, John Cage and others, Rauschenberg helped obscure the lines between painting and sculpture, painting and photography, photography and printmaking, sculpture and photography, sculpture and dance, sculpture and technology, technology and performance art. Per the art critic, Jerry Saltz: Rauschenberg invented a new form called the combine. It was not quite a painting nor was it considered sculpture. For Rauschenberg, though, it was like discovering fire it so transformed his art. He used bedding, doors, parachutes, a tire, a stuffed goat and combined them into new forms. One combine, Monogram, features a stuffed goat encircled by a tire atop a horizontal painting. Saltz says, “Rauschenberg is a mischievous Satyr grazing on art history, or the goat is a gargoyle protecting the art. Either way, the title suggests that Rauschenberg was leaving his mark.” And leave his mark he did. He became known as the giant of American Art. Jasper Johns, his sometime lover, said, “Rauschenberg was the man who in this century invented the most since Picasso.” Rauschenberg (October 22, 1925 – May 12, 2008) was an American painter and graphic artist whose early works anticipated the Pop art movement. He received numerous awards during his nearly 60-year artistic career. Among the most prominent were the International Grand Prize in Painting at the 32nd Venice Biennale in 1964 and the National Medal of Arts in 1993. He lived and worked in New York City and on Captiva Island, Florida, At 18, Rauschenberg was admitted to the University of Texas at Austin where he began studying pharmacology, but he dropped out shortly after due to the difficulty of the coursework—not realizing at this point that he is dyslexic—and his unwillingness to dissect a frog in biology class. He was drafted into the United States Navy in 1944. Based in California, he served as a neuropsychiatric technician in a Navy hospital until his discharge in 1945 or 1946. Rauschenberg subsequently studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Académie Julian in Paris, France, where he met fellow art student Susan Weil...

"Banco (Ground Rules)", Aquatint Collage, Signed and Numbered by the Artist
By Robert Rauschenberg
Located in Detroit, MI
"Banco", an aquatint from Robert Rauschenberg' s "Ground Rules" series is an exemplary piece where the window moldings become a metaphor for the formal role it plays in anchoring it into a simple, legible grid. A vivid palette with brilliant, translucent greens, blues, and oranges render discrete patches and the clarity of the printing seems more firmly "grounded" than the photographs in their grids. There is a recurrence of artistically self-referential motifs like the central white rectangle with a sign, YOUR NAME HERE, superimposed over the window rather obliquely. In the window of "Banco" reflections become opacities that destroy its translucency, bring back the surface; and across that surface, scraps of imagery drift, bringing back, in turn through their transparency, the illusion of depth. The sheet itself is 41 5/16 x 27 9/16" (105 x 70 cm). This is number 32 from an edition of 44 and has been numbered and signed by the artist. Robert Rauschenberg, the irrepressibly prolific American artist, is known as the one who time and again reshaped art in the 20th century. He was a painter, photographer, printmaker, choreographer, onstage performer, and set designer. In later years, it is said, he was even a composer.

He lived and worked in New York City and on Captiva Island, Florida, At 18, Rauschenberg was admitted to the University of Texas at Austin where he began studying pharmacology, but he dropped out shortly after due to the difficulty of the coursework—not realizing at this point that he is dyslexic—and his unwillingness to dissect a frog in biology class.

Robert Rauschenberg, Guggenheim Retrospective Limited Edition Suite of 6 Plates
By Robert Rauschenberg
Located in Glenview, IL
Complete Set of 6 Guggenheim Museum Retrospective Limited Edition Plates created in 1997. The porcelain plates feature screen printed images of Rauschenberg's work with screened signature on verso and descriptive card for the set. Sold in its original packaging. Robert Rauschenberg was a prominent member of the American Post-War avant-garde. The artist’s sculpture-painting hybrids known as Combines, broke through the two dimensionality of the canvas at a time when Abstract Expressionism dominated the scene. His seminal Neo-Dada work, Erased de Kooning (1953), consisted of ritualistically wiping out an original drawing he purchased from the famed painter. “I don't really trust ideas, especially good ones,” he once said. “Rather I put my trust in the materials that confront me, because they put me in touch with the unknown.” Born Milton Ernest Rauschenberg on October 22, 1925 in Port Arthur, TX, he was drafted into the Navy during World War II where he served as medical technician in San Diego. After the war, he used the GI Bill to travel to Paris to study at the Académie Julian, where he met his future wife Susan Weil...
