Style
Flags, targets and numbers as main subject of his works– iconic and well known– gives more attention to the process
![Page 10: R.R. & J.J. Presented by: D.S.S.F. Robert Rauschenberg American collagist, painter and graphic artist Movement: Neo-Dada Born: Oct 22 1925, Texas](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5a4d1b0f7f8b9ab05998e532/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Uses the idea of artist’s brush strokes
as a form of symbol, manipulate the
meaning of his artworks inspired by Marcel Duchamp
artwork’s meaning to be resolved within
the viewer’s mind
Breaks the art stereotype uses unconventional items that are too
common to notice into his work
shreds of newspaper, found objects,
mass-produced goods
