We had discussed Rauschenberg in class, but what I really liked about his work was how the images were manipulated. He took pop culture and changed the color and/or texture as well as adding more traditional art textures as well (paint brush marks, sketches, etc.). He started his combines, or collages, with pieces of stuff he picked up in the streets of NY, finding things he could not make himself. If I am inspired by anything of Rauschenberg's work it is his strive to surprise people and to create something new.
