About the Artist
Robert Rauschenberg was born in Texas in 1925. After studying at the Kansas City Art Institute in 1946, he subsequently continued his studies at the Academie Julian in Paris. He divorced himself from abstract expressionist painting in 1953 with a series of works he referred to as “Combines” in which he collaged objects with roughly applied colors. He had been a key figure in Pop Art due to his unique expressive method in which he created images on aluminum and metal plates.
