Portrait of Robert Rauschenberg

American, 1925–2008

Robert Rauschenberg was an American Abstract Expressionism artist. 43 works are cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art. Robert Rauschenberg was born in Port Arthur.

Milton Ernest "Robert" or "Bob" Rauschenberg was an American painter and multi-media artist, whose work has been associated with numerous mid-20th century art movements including the New York School, Conceptual Art, Pop art, and Neo-Dada. Rauschenberg is well known for his Combines (1954–1964), a group of artworks which incorporated everyday objects as art materials and which blurred the distinctions between painting and sculpture. Rauschenberg was primarily a painter and a sculptor, but he also worked with photography, printmaking, papermaking and performance.
