Robert Rauschenberg | TateShots

Hear the experts explain how Robert Rauschenberg blazed a new trail for art in the second half of the twentieth century.
Tate Modern’s landmark Rauschenberg exhibition celebrates his extraordinary six-decade career, taking you on a dazzling adventure through modern art in the company of a truly remarkable artist.
From paintings including flashing lights to a stuffed angora goat, Rauschenberg’s appetite for incorporating things he found in the streets of New York knew no limits. Pop art silkscreen paintings of Kennedy sit alongside 1000 gallons of bentonite mud bubbling to its own rhythm. Rauschenberg even made a drawing which was sent to the moon.

I like how my teacher sent us this for research when it's just a bunch of different people talking about how great he was without explaining anything

[@isabelcausadias8026]

Research is about asking questions. Why was his work relevant? What does his work explain in the context of his time? ... As teachers we not only have answers to share with our students, but above all we have tools to stimulate research. I'm sure your teacher invited you to take this video as a starting point to explore all the questions and share the answers later in class.

"What Rauschenberg showed us is that everyday things, the detritus of life, can be quite beautiful." "Perhaps the greatest collagist who every lived." "He investigated the parameters of art, the 'bottom line' of art-what is the least thing you need? What can you get rid of and still have a work of art?" "He is one of the first people to explode the painting into the world of the viewer." "His work lies in the balance between the real world and the [traditional] work of art." "Collaboration was so important to him, where so many artists work in isolation." "His attitude about the visual world was like John Cage's attitude toward sound-everything is part of our visual world so that everything can be drawn into a work of art." There, I've done the work for you.

I met him during my senior year in high school. It was for this exhibition show with Darryl Pottorf at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown Ohio. It had profound impact on my growth as an artist. I find myself constantly inspired by his work. His vegetable dye transfer pieces are huge in scale and amazing! I’ll never forget that day. He is and always will be in my top most influential artists.

Who is the lady in the video? Thanks!

I met him in 1996 at Pace Wildenstein gallery 1996..we like each other i m m e d i a t e l y and talked about our mutual friend NICO ,German singer icon. Pace Wildenstein B,H.was interested in my art but closed their Beverly Hills gallery and suggested my art was too sophisticated for B.H.and I should recontact them in NYC.....Unfortunately Rauschenberg died before I was able to go to NYC.
