1995
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1995 by Robert Rauschenberg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is split into three black-and-white sections. The top shows a rusted metal fence with barbed wire on top. The middle has a damaged car hood leaning against the fence. The bottom is a close-up of a cat’s back, its fur patterned with light and shadow. The cat’s fur looks almost like cracked pavement, with sharp contrasts of light and dark. This effect is called *chiaroscuro*—a technique that uses strong light and shadow to create drama. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
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.
