Pegasits/ROCI USA (Wax Fire Works) 1990

"Pegasits/ROCI USA (Wax Fire Works)" is a 1990 mixed media work by American artist Robert Rauschenberg. The artwork is a collage composed of photographic prints, paint, and other materials. The piece is a prime example of Rauschenberg's signature style, characterized by the incorporation of found objects and real-world imagery. As a pioneer of the Combine paintings, Rauschenberg challenged traditional art boundaries by blurring the line between art and life. Rauschenberg's artwork often explores themes of consumerism, technology, and social commentary. The artwork's title, "Pegasits/ROCI USA (Wax Fire Works)," suggests a connection to mythology and the American spirit, blending seemingly disparate elements into a unified whole.
