In the mid-1950s, Robert Rauschenberg began a series of radical experiments with what he called 'combines' - works that fused cast-off items like quilts of rubber tyres with traditional supports. Canyon (1959), one of the artist's best-known combines, is a large canvas bearing paper, fabric, metal, personal photographs, wood, mirrors and one very striking object: a large, stuffed bald eagle, wings outstretched, carrying a drooping pillow. Leah Dickerman explores the legacy of this landmark work and places it within a key period in Rauschenberg's groundbreaking career.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the mid-1950s, declaring "there is no reason not to consider the world as a gigantic painting," Robert Rauschenberg began a series of radical experiments with what he called "Combines," a term he coined to describe works that fused cast-off items like quilts or rubber tires with traditional supports. "Canyon" (1959), one of the artist's best-known Combines, is a large canvas affixed with paper, fabric, metal, personal photographs, wood, mirrors and one very striking object: a large stuffed bald eagle, wings outstretched, carrying a drooping pillow, and balanced upon a wooden plank jutting out from the canvas. "Canyon" is one of six Combines in MoMA's collection, and a landmark work that helped to revolutionize art in the postwar period. An essay by curator Leah Dickerman explores the legacy of this extraordinary piece, and places it within a key period in Rauschenberg's career. "In the mid-1950s Robert Rauschenberg began making what he called "Combines"--Radically experimental works that mix paint and other art materials with things found in daily life. These hybrid creations offered a dramatic counterpoint to the gestural abstraction that prevailed in contemporary American painting. Canyon (1959), one of the artist's best-known Combines, is a large canvas bearing paint, a postcard, a man's shirt, photographs, newspaper clippings, wood, a flattened metal can and paint tube, a piece of glass, and, thrusting out from its surface, a stuffed bald eagle. Leah Dickerman's essay examines the genesis of this startling and enigmatic work and positions it within a key period in Rauschenberg's groundbreaking career."--Publisher's description.
