Robert Rauschenberg
1925 - 2008

An American artist who came to prominence in the 1950s transition from
Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art. Rauschenberg is well-known for his
"Combines" of the 1950s, in which non-traditional materials and objects
were employed in innovative combinations. 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.
He was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1993.

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.
