Description:
|
"I think a painting is more like the real world if it’s made out of the real world," Robert Rauschenberg once said. In the mid-1950s, true to this sentiment, he devised a genre of works he called "combines", wall-mounted and freestanding hybrids of painting and assemblage. Affixed to the canvas is metal ductwork, the wired corner of a 1961 New York license plate, cloth, and printed paper. (Source: Colby Museum of Art [website]; http://www.colby.edu/museum/)
