Robert Rauschenberg

Centennial Certificate M.M.A.
1969

This is a vibrant, multicolored collage featuring a variety of images and textures overlaid with text. The images include classical statues, architectural elements, historical figures, and scenes from paintings. The dominant colors are blue, orange, and red, with grid-like patterns and handwritten notes contributing to a layered, complex composition. The artwork has a dynamic, almost patchwork quality, with each segment offering a different visual or textual element to the overall piece.
