Susan–Central Park N.Y.C. (III) 1951

"Susan–Central Park N.Y.C. (III)" is a 1951 black and white photograph by Robert Rauschenberg. This piece is part of a series focusing on a woman named Susan Weil, a friend of the artist. The image shows Weil reclining against a tree in New York City's Central Park, her striped robe adding a sense of casualness to the otherwise formal portrait. Rauschenberg’s series of photographs of Weil in Central Park are considered a direct and intimate exploration of his subject, blurring the lines between staged and candid.
