Robert Rauschenberg research and my preferences (check spelling)

Robert Rauschernberg

In the early 1950s, Rauschenberg launched his artistic career with series of monochrome paintings in black, white, gold and red, featuring varied textural effects produced by the marouflage and painting of newspaper. Even then he wanted to abolish from art the sacrosanct principle of self-expression. These surfaces, and in particular his white paintings, offer themselves as mirrors, neutral surfaces waiting to accept the reflections of the world. “Today is their creator,” the artist once said of these works. TheCombines period followed immediately after. “Rauschenberg: Combines” is the first exhibition dedicated exclusively to this essential creative phase of the artist, which marked the beginning of his international artistic influence.

this piece of artwork as seen in the background is called BLACK MARKET, a collection of items rauschenburg has found,as seen in the painting combined with mixed media, also is a box of objects he had found, this piece of work is interactive and encourages you to take an item from the box and replace it with one of your own, but you must draw the item you have taken out, on one of the four pads in the middle of the piece of artwork. 

i think this art piece is very clever as rauschenburg has made this piece of work himself, yet is encouraging people to interact with the piece themselfs by drawring items of his and replacing them with there own changing the artwork all together, i also find this piece interesting as he combines painting and drawring with the items he has found, giving the piece a 3D effect linking to his sculptures. combining 3 techneques he is familiar with. making iit all one. 

This i will use myself, as the combonation of the 3 techneques work very well together and the effect it gives the final piece of artwork is very clever as its shows all the things rauschenburg is good at but in one. 

This piece of artwork Called 'MONOGRAM' was created over a 4 year period witch was completed in 1959, this artwork,combined painting with sculpture, The stuffed Angora Goat who's nose has been painted with multicolour war paint as if graising at the pasture, the canvus upon witch the goat is placed upon contains a number of images from everyday life, the canvus itself as a artpeice is much like rauschenburgs other work, combinig newspaper clippings and fragments of a wooden post, there is also a tennis ball behind the goat this represengs the animal has deficated on the painting, this fuses this mixed media piece as it was created from a number of different materials; oil paint, paper, fabric, printed newspaper reproductions and paper, metal, wood, rubber shoe heel, police barrier, a tennis ball and a tyre.

this makes up a good mixed media piece as it tells a story aswell as combining a mixture of materials, this i shall try to use in my own artwork as teh combination of all these objects together work well in tearms both with tellling a story aswell as making the art piece his own.
