Signs 1970

Robert Rauschenberg's "Signs" from 1970 is a quintessential example of the artist's signature Combines style. The artwork utilizes a complex layering of found imagery, including photographs and printed materials, to create a visually impactful and thought-provoking composition. The juxtaposition of images like an astronaut, a jeep, and a political figure speaks to the dynamic social and technological landscape of the era. The piece's fragmented nature invites viewers to analyze the individual elements and their potential relationships to the larger historical context of the 1970s.
