This is one of Rauschenberg’s most famous works. Its called “estate.” It shows some 20th century buildings, along with some signs and the Statue of Liberty. To me, this represents modern America. The Statue of Liberty shows that the piece is about America while all the rustic looking buildings sort of sum up the urbanization that happened in America as it was progressing in the 20th century. The different pictures all seem to be inter-related. It all flows together.
Most of Rauschenberg’s painting use juxtaposition to compare different time periods in American history. All of these pictures are showing different aspects of America during the same time periods. Rauschenberg was known for taking non-traditional materials or pictures were combined to make art.
