Robert Rauschenberg (American, 1925-2008) was a graphic artist whose work ushered in the advent of the Pop Art movement in America. Rauschenberg emerged in the art scene at a time when Abstract Expressionism was all the rage, and he very quickly established a novel brand for himself. Rauschenberg was experimental, ironic, and collaborative, making his body of work a lasting testament to creativity itself.
