Book Description
Robert Rauschenberg, one of the most prolific and influential artists of the postwar period, has created an astonishing
variety of works during a career spanning more than fifty years. To illuminate the meaning of Rauschenberg's art
and the reasons behind his artistic choices, Robert Mattison in this book focuses closely on a small selection
of the artist's projects. Mattison offers an interpretation of Rauschenberg's output that is both original and
uniquely insightful, based on extensive research and first-hand observation of the artist at work in his studio.
Like Rauschenberg's own work, the book ranges across a variety of disciplines. Mattison relates the artist's output
to the visual arts, politics, technology, dance, urban theory, and other intriguing contemporary issues. The book
examines Rauschenberg's working process, the effect of his dyslexia on his art, his seminal Combine paintings of
the 1950s, fascination with the "space race," and collaboration with well-known choreographer Trisha
Brown. A final chapter explores the art Rauschenberg exhibited in Chile during the dangerous and repressive rule
of dictator Augusto Pinochet.
