ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG Calf Startena (Chow Bag), 1977

Renowned for his mixed-media works, Robert Rauschenberg was a painter and graphic artist whose works are often associated with the Neo-Dada movement; innovative with his technique and inspired by his fascination with what art truly encompasses, one of Rauschenberg’s most notable works is his Erased de Kooning Drawing that depicts exactly what the title suggests – the artist requested a drawing from De Kooning which he then erased over the course of two months, leaving only faint outlines of the original work. Rauschenberg’s ‘Combines’ came to define his career; using various mundane objects such as cardboard and even trash, combined with paint, the artist created his three-dimensional collage paintings of which he remarked ‘I think a picture is more like the real world when it is made out of the real world’ - such works as Rhyme and Bantam are among his most acclaimed Combines.
