Robert Rauschenberg
American painter, sculptor,
printmaker,
photographer and performance
artist. While too much of an individualist ever to be fully a part of
any movement, he acted as an important bridge between Abstract
Expressionism and Pop
art and can be credited as one of the major influences in the return
to favour of representational art in the USA. As iconoclastic in his invention of new techniques as in his
wide-ranging iconography
of modern life, he suggested new possibilities that continued to be exploited by
younger artists throughout the latter decades of the 20th century.
