Robert Rauschenberg combines

Read a description of this artists,artistic intension to day...."to fill in the gap between life and art". Questioning the distinction between art and every day life,in the manner of Duchamp's Fountain. Rauschenberg also challenges us to question the role of the artist as creator in creating arts meaning. Rauschenberg in his sculptural practise uses found objects and more importantly found images,these are changed by the context in which the artist employes them and they are transformed into something new. I believe a working knowledge of this artists practise is of great importance in gaining an understanding of the concepts explored in contemporary art.
