Together they are a virtual encyclopedia of modern-day imagery, made by transferring photographic reproductions from magazines or newspapers onto the drawing surface. \"I think a picture is more like the real world when it's made out of the real world,\" Rauschenberg said. With additional imagery in pencil, crayon, pastel and collage, the drawings reflect Rauschenberg's desire to infiltrate his art with the scenes and sounds of the surrounding world, a radical departure from the more transcendent ambitions of Abstract Expressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished in conjunction with the first major retrospective on Rauschenberg's career since the artist's death in 2008, this book presents the complete set of 34 drawings, with an introduction by curator Leah Dickerman and newly commissioned poetry from Kevin Young and Robin Coste Lewis, each reflecting on a selection of drawings and their corresponding Cantos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Rauschenberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1633450295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633450295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Museum of Modern Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 8.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Robert Rauschenberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994410320127,"sku":"9781633450295","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc696b8e-499b-4721-8b7e-83ded690a127.jpg?v=1683329984","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/robert-rauschenberg-robert-rauschenberg-9781633450295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
