Since then, Johns has painted, drawn and cast the flag rendered it in eye-popping colour and in spectral white described its forty-eight-star configuration and its fifty-star version. The baffling literalism of that painting, 'Flag' (Museum of Modern Art, New York) – is it a thing or a picture of a thing? – suggested both the knowing mundaneness of Dada and the homespun naïveté of folk art.
No motif is more closely associated with Johns than the American flag, which he first painted in 1954. Text from Coppel, Daunt and Tallman, 'The American Dream: pop to the present', London: Thames and Hudson in association with the British Museum, 2017, cat. It echoes the effect of a painting that he made in the same year, which paired a flag painted in oil paint with one in the wax-based medium encaustic. A screened layer of glossy varnish distinguishes the flag on the right from the matt flag on the left. He made this print at Universal Limited Art Editions on Long Island, New York, using 15 colours and 30 different screens. He first used it for a painting titled 'Flag' in 1954 (now the Museum of Modern Art, New York).

At the same time, Johns' paintings of numerals, flags, and the like, were reprising Duchamp's message of the role of the observer in creating art's meaning. Rauschenberg was quoted as saying that he wanted to work "in the gap between art and life" suggesting he questioned the distinction between art objects and everyday objects, reminiscent of the issues raised by the "Fountain", by Dada pioneer, Marcel Duchamp. Rauschenberg's approach was sometimes called " Neo Dadaist," a label he shared with the painter Jasper Johns. Rauschenberg is also survived by his son, photographer Christopher Rauschenberg, and his sister, Janet Begneaud. Rauschenberg is survived by his partner of 25 years, artist Darryl Pottorf, his former assistant. He died of heart failure after a personal decision to go off life support. Rauschenberg died on May 12, 2008, on Captiva Island, Florida. Katz states that Rauschenberg's affair with Twombly began during his marriage to Susan Weil. According to a 1987 oral history by the composer Morton Feldman, after the end of his marriage, Rauschenberg had romantic relationships with fellow artists Cy Twombly and Jasper Johns. The two separated in June 1952 and divorced in 1953.
Their only child, Christopher, was born July 16, 1951. Rauschenberg married Susan Weil in the summer of 1950 at the Weil family home in Outer Island, Connecticut. Rauschenberg described Albers as influencing him to do "exactly the reverse" of what he was being taught.įrom 1949 to 1952 Rauschenberg studied with Vaclav Vytlacil and Morris Kantor at the Art Students League of New York, where he met fellow artists Knox Martin and Cy Twombly. Albers' preliminary courses relied on strict discipline that did not allow for any "uninfluenced experimentation". Josef Albers, a founder of the Bauhaus, became Rauschenberg's painting instructor at Black Mountain. In 1948 Rauschenberg and Weil decided to attend Black Mountain College in North Carolina.

Rauschenberg subsequently studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Académie Julian in Paris, France, where he met the painter Susan Weil. Based in California, he served as a mental hospital technician until his discharge in 1945.
He was drafted into the United States Navy in 1943. Rauschenberg was dyslexic.Īt 16, Rauschenberg was admitted to the University of Texas where he began studying pharmacy. His parents were Fundamentalist Christians. His father was of German and Cherokee ancestry and his mother of Anglo-Saxon descent. Rauschenberg was born as Milton Ernest Rauschenberg in Port Arthur, Texas, the son of Dora Carolina (née Matson) and Ernest R. Rauschenberg lived and worked in New York City as well as on Captiva Island, Florida until his death from heart failure on May 12, 2008. He became the recipient of the Leonardo da Vinci World Award of Arts in 1995 in recognition of his more than 40 years of fruitful artmaking. He was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1993. Rauschenberg was both a painter and a sculptor and the Combines are a combination of both, but he also worked with photography, printmaking, papermaking, and performance. Rauschenberg is well known for his "Combines" of the 1950s, in which non-traditional materials and objects were employed in innovative combinations. Milton Ernest "Robert" Rauschenberg (Octo– May 12, 2008) was an American painter and graphic artist whose early works anticipated the pop art movement.
