Another Artist part of the 1950s New York School of Artists
was Robert Rauschenberg. Rauschenberg was born in Texas and attended Kansas
City Art Institute and then the Academie Julien in Paris.
Rauschenberg is known for his mixed media pieces, known as
Combines:
A Combine painting is an artwork that incorporate various
objects into a painted canvas surface, creating a sort of hybrid
between painting and sculpture. Items attached to paintings might include
photographic images, clothing, newspaper
clippings, emphera, or any number
of three-dimensional objects.
Rauschenberg collected things to use in his artwork from the
streets of New York City. He said himself that he...
"wanted something other than what I could make
myself and I wanted to use the surprise and the
collectiveness and generosity of finding surprises. And if it wasn't a surprise at first, by the
time I got through with it, it was. So the object itself was changed by
its context and therefore became a new thing."
