Robert Rauschenberg

Shirtboards, Morocco, Italy '52: six plates

Rauschenberg's *Shirtboards, Morocco, Italy '52* is a suite of six mixed-media prints that layers collage elements onto a variety of handmade and heavy board papers, reflecting the artist's early experimental approach to materiality and process. Created from found and repurposed surfaces, the works evoke a sense of travel and personal memory, rooted in Rauschenberg's formative experiences in Morocco and Italy. The varied textures and substrates underscore his lifelong commitment to blurring the boundaries between painting, printmaking, and everyday life.
