Robert Rauschenberg

Page 10, Paragraph 3 (Short Stories)

2001

Robert Rauschenberg's "Page 10, Paragraph 3 (Short Stories)" combines inkjet pigment transfer and acrylic on polylaminate to create a layered work that reflects his lifelong interest in incorporating text and imagery into abstract compositions. The use of polylaminate as a support material adds a contemporary industrial quality to the piece, while the combination of transfer and painted elements demonstrates his characteristic blending of mechanical and gestural mark making. Presented in the artist's frame, the work exemplifies Rauschenberg's approach to treating the entire presentation, including its housing, as integral to the aesthetic experience.
