Robert Rauschenberg — Persimmon
Robert Rauschenberg

Persimmon

1964

A layered collage composition featuring classical Renaissance figures juxtaposed with contemporary color blocks and abstract elements. Characteristic of Rauschenberg's groundbreaking combine aesthetic, this work demonstrates his mastery of merging art historical references with modern printmaking techniques. The warm golden tones and fragmented imagery create a dynamic visual dialogue between past and present.

Mixed media print
