Provenance Courtesy of the artist Catalogue Essay The ‘Scenarios’ and ‘Runts’ can be interpreted as gouaches decoupés of our times, using ‘cut and paste’ of the computer as the contemporary form of using scissors like Matisse’s assistants did at the time. The visual imagery within the works are Robert Rauschenberg at its best: visual collages of commonplace scenes and objects selected from Rauschenberg’s vast archive of his own and found images enriched with new material that his assistants and friends bring back to the studio from their journeys. Assembled by the master the multilayered paintings tell us stories about rural and urban American life. As Robert Hughes stated recently ‘Rauschenberg has always believed in allegory and narrative, memory and, above all, impurity. The ‘Scenarios’ and ‘Runts’ demonstrate Robert Rauschenberg’s ability to bring his eye for color and form to a new medium with playful and delightful power.’ Courtesy of Galerie Jamileh Weber, Zürich, May 15, 2007 Read More
