Robert Rauschenberg
FameRank: 5

"Robert Rauschenberg" was an American painter and graphic artist whose early works anticipated the pop art movement. Rauschenberg is well known for his "Combine painting/Combines" of the 1950s, in which non-traditional materials and objects were employed in innovative combinations. Rauschenberg was both a painter and a sculptor and the Combines are a combination of both, but he also worked with photography, printmaking, papermaking, and performance.
