Today I researched a bit about Robert Rauschenberg who was an American artist. His art work is defined as Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art that consisted of paintings, print, sculptures and Combines. The latter is described as combining painting and a collage like technique; magazine clippings of images were applied to a canvas in addition to paint. There is a lot of shapes and texture involved that create a fullness to the pieces that I find inviting.
This particular style of art appears two dimensional creating depth on the canvas. There appears to be no orderly structure or reason of his images that are injected. I am sure they symbolize personal observations of everyday objects, yet some critics have commented perhaps there is a code hidden - maybe implying political statements .
