Robert
Rauschenberg: Scenarios and Short Stories
March 10 - June 4, 2006
Robert
Rauschenberg ranks as one of the most prominent and influential
artists of the 20th century. Associated with the Pop Art movement
in his early career, Rauschenberg is celebrated for assemblages
and collage-based works, which often incorporate ordinary cast-off
or mass-produced objects. His fusion of imagery and objects effectively
blurs the boundaries between traditional art-making genres and methods,
redefining conventional notions of painting, sculpture, photography,
printmaking, and performance art. The works included in Scenarios
and Short Stories, produced in the last five years, reflect
Rauschenberg’s unmistakable collage-based style and distinctive
repertoire of images. The objects suggest the random connectedness
of commonplace scenes, which in Rauschenberg’s hands are imbued
with dignity and significance.
Robert
Rauschenberg: Scenarios and Short Stories, along with the concurrent
Darryl Pottorf and Christopher Rauschenberg exhibitions, were organized
by the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum in Lafayette,
Louisiana.
