Jasper Johns
American · b. 1930

Johns similarly layers screenprinted imagery with found cultural symbols and painterly marks, creating dense visual surfaces that interrogate collective memory and American iconography through a neo-Dada sensibility deeply parallel to this Rauschenberg print.

Andy Warhol
American · b. 1928

Warhol's mastery of multi-color screenprinting and his method of transforming photographic source material into layered cultural commentary directly mirrors the technique and conceptual approach seen in this large scale screenprint.

James Rosenquist
American · b. 1933

Rosenquist created large scale works that juxtapose fragmented photographic and commercial imagery through layered printmaking and painting processes, producing the same sense of visual archaeology and cultural detritus evident in this Rauschenberg piece.
