Signs of the Times: Robert Rauschenberg's America:Robert Rauschenberg, who came to prominence in the 1950s, was one of the great American artists. As a painter, sculptor, and printmaker, he drew his subject matter from the everyday world. In the style of collage, he juxtaposed and overlapped actual objects and fragments derived from photographs, newspaper clippings, and magazines-often bound together by the artist's gestural brushwork-to create kaleidoscopic works of art. The provocative collisions of images and ideas were layered in their meanings and mirrored the energetic rhythms and contradictions of modern life. 'Signs of the Times: Robert Rauschenberg's America' presents 59 lithographs and screenprints from three major print series created from 1968 to 1970.
