ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG
Robert Rauschenberg was a famous artist mostly for his paintings and sculptures. He was most famous during the 1950s and he mainly worked in New York. One of Rauschenberg's mentors was Josef Albers and he taught Rauschenberg to do exactly the reverse of what was taught to him. He married Susan WEil in 1950 and one son but then they got divorced three years later. He had a number of romantic relationships with female artists after his divorce. Rauschenberg was known as a neo dadaist along with Jasper Johns, and he quoted saying he wanted to work, "in the gap between art and life." He is very famous for his works called, The White Paintings, Black Paintings, and Red Paintings which were monochromatic paintings that stripped down the painting of its essence and brought it to its pure nature form. He is also known for his works called the Combines, where he collected trash and other materials he found on the street and put them together trying to make something from collectables to represent the relationship between art and life.
