Pop Artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925 – 2008) strongly impacted American and European art through his imaginative experimentation with unusual techniques and materials. Born in Texas, Rauschenberg created silk screens, digital images and set designs, and revolutionized art with huge, three-dimensional “combines,” a fusion of paint and items he collected from the street. Revealing the beauty in items typically perceived as rubbish, Rauschenberg became one of Pop Art’s most influential and acclaimed figures.
