You see a tall, narrow print with swirling red, white, and blue shapes—like ink in water or a flag caught in the wind. This was made as a campaign poster for the 2000 Democratic presidential race. Rauschenberg didn’t pick sides; he just gave the colors energy. The print feels fast, almost messy, but every mark is deliberate. To see how he turned politics into art, look up more works by Robert Rauschenberg.
