Photoshop and Photomontage- Robert Rauschenberg


Robert Rauschenberg was another photomontage artist who was inspired by popular culture and loved to experiment.


His materials were unusual , for example, in one piece he used: a tire , a police barrier, the heel of a shoe, a tennis ball and paint to create his artwork. I think this style was interesting because not many people had done the same; it was an experimental expression of a message.
He transferred prints of well known images and used paint to blend the images into one. The images were often linked, although at a first glance you may not notice the detail set on the canvas.
I like Rauschenberg’s style because I think that although it was experimental, a lot of thought has gone into creating and developing techniques to create these pieces. The colours and images work well together and often help to create a certain aspect of the work stand out more prominently than others.
