Untitled is a 1965 ink by Robert Rauschenberg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image looks like a collage made from old photos, newspaper clippings, and paint. A black-and-white photo of a person’s face sits in the middle, surrounded by bits of text, a partial map, and splashes of color. The edges are messy, with torn paper and scribbles peeking out. The artist glued together different pieces to create something new—like a puzzle with no clear rules. The mix of old photos and random marks makes it feel both busy and quiet at the same time. Check out lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
Milton Ernest "Robert" or "Bob" Rauschenberg was an American painter and multi-media artist, whose work has been associated with numerous mid-20th century art movements including the New York School, Conceptual Art, Pop art, and Neo-Dada.
