Artist research

Robert Rauschenberg 1967–1978

He was originally known for being Milton Rauschenberg who lived in Texas in 1925. The first interest he had in art was by chance it just so happed that he visited a gallery and took a automatic appeal to the culture of art. However at this moment in time he served as a mental hospital nurse in the U.S navy for the last years of World War 2. Later on in his life he decided that Robert would be more suitable for his first name as a artist as it is more formal.

He studied in a variety of places in his life such as:

·      Black Mountain College in North Carolina.

·      The Art Students League in New York

·      Kansas City Art Institute

·      The Academie Julian in Paris,

·      Black Mountain this is where he found his influences.

He was one of the main artists who began to incorporate silk-screen printings on a canvas board. He is well known for doing the approach. In 1966 he created a group called EAT this stands for Experiments in Art and Technology this is a group of artists and engineers that work together in art. Abstract Expressionism was the previous movement to the EAT movement, he became involved with choreography, Pop Art and with theatre production.
