Robert Rauschenberg Art

"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 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...

Born in Port Arthur, Texas in 1925, Robert Rauschenberg imagined himself first as a minister and later as a pharmacist. It wasn't until 1947, while in the U.S. Marines, that he discovered his aptitude for drawing and his interest in the artistic representation of everyday objects and people. After leaving the Marines, he studied art in Paris on the G.I. Bill, but quickly became disenchanted with the European art scene. Rauschenberg's enthusiasm for popular culture and his rejection of the angst and seriousness of the Abstract Expressionists led him to search for a new way of painting. He found his signature mode by embracing materials traditionally outside of the artist's reach. He would cover a canvas with house paint, or ink the wheel of a car and run it over paper to create a drawing, while demonstrating rigor and concern for formal painting. By 1958, at the time of his first solo exhibition at the Leo Castelli Gallery, his work had moved from abstract painting to drawings like "Erased De Kooning" (1953) (which was exactly as it sounds) to what he termed "combines." These combines (meant to express both the finding and forming of combinations in three-dimensional collage) cemented his place in art history. As Pop Art emerged in the 1960s, Rauschenberg turned away from three-dimensional combines and began to work in two dimensions, using magazine...

Robert Rauschenberg "Untitled" 1973 Medium: Screenprint and collage in colors Printed and Published by Styria Studios, New York and with their blindstamp Signed and Numbered 71/100 Images Size: approx. 28 x 20 inches Framed Size: approx. 34 x 26 inches Born with the name Milton Rauschenberg in Port Arthur, Texas, Robert Rauschenberg became one of the major artists of his generation and is credited along with Jasper Johns of breaking the stronghold of Abstract Expressionism*. Rauschenberg was known for assemblage*, conceptualist methods, printmaking, and willingness to experiment with non-artistic materials--all innovations that anticipated later movements such as Pop Art*, Conceptualism*, and Minimalism*. In May, 1999, ARTNews magazine featured him as one of the top twenty-five influential western artists, stating: "His irreverent notions of what an artwork could be gained him the status of an enfant terrible. . .Rauschenberg pushed the viewer to accept the unexpected." He has said that he believes painting should relate to both life and art and that he wants is artwork to be the intermediary between the two. He received much formal art education beginning with the Kansas City Art Institute in 1947 and 1948. He studied briefly in Paris at the Academie Julian*, and from 1948 to 1949 was at Black Mountain College* in North Carolina with Josef and Anni Albers. This period was followed by several years attendance at the Art Students League* in New York City with Morris Kantor and Vaclav Vytlacil. In 1951, he exhibited all white and black paintings incorporating viewer participation through the shadows they cast on the works. At Black Mountain College, he had met composer, John Cage, and dancer- choreographer, Merce Cunningham, for whom he worked in his company as a designer, manager, and performer. Frequently he scoured the area in which they were performing for 'unusual' objects such as tires, old radios...
