Robert Rauschenberg

•He was an American painted and a graphic artist who was well known for his ‘combines’ of the 1960’s. This was a combination of both painting and sculpture but sometimes he would also work with photography. He created the ‘black painting’ which incorporated little bits of newspaper into his work. Eventually he began using different types of material i.e. wood and nails…

I think the fact that Rauschenberg incorporates different materials is interesting and original. This shows that different media can be put into images and it wont look messy or odd, it actually makes the images more colourful and fun.
