art in english

This work of art, made by Robert Rauschenberg after the second world war two, is a collage of different pictures and newspaper headlines. This collage can be seen as a messy one but when we look more precisely at the work of art we can see pictures of dead bodies from carnages made by the Nazi system in concentrations camps, moreover there is pictures of lynched bodies and newspaper headline about Mississippi. This work of art is therefore shocking and also touching because it exposes the violence and barbarism that has been done in the past, I choose this work of art because of the powerful message that is transmitted. Robert Rauschenberg is born in 1925 and dead in 2008, is a part of a movement called the Neo-Dada and he is one of the precursor of Pop-Art, he was friend with an artist named CY Twombly which I really like that’s how I heard about him. When we went to the Maillol Museum to see the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art we saw this work of art and other ones of Robert Rauschenberg which were really interesting too but this one was the most interesting in my point of view, especially because of the yellow, red, black and white colors because the contrast is huge it makes a violent effect on the vision and I think it’s in order to echo the violence of the pictures which are uses.
