Milton "Robert" Rauschenberg

Rauschenberg was an American painter and graphic artist whose early works anticipated the Pop art movement. Rauschenberg is well known for his Combines, a group of artworks which incorporated everyday objects as art materials and which blurred the distinctions between painting and sculpture.

Robert was a student from fall of 1948 to spring of 1949. Before BMC, he attended Kansas City Art Institute February 3, 1947 until June 1948, and Acadamie Julian in Paris June 1948 through September 1948.

There are many resources available on the life and work of Robert Raushenberg on the Rauschenberg Foundation site.
