Em "Reservoir, 1961", um conjunto de objectos do quotidiano é representado sobre um fundo sujo. O relégio no canto superior esquerdo foi colocado quando o artista começou a trabalhar no quadro; o outro relógio foi colocado para registar a hora a que acabou. Este quadro «combinado» ilustra o método de selecção e de arranjo de imagens e objectos díspares feito por Rauschenberg. Não o executou com o objectivo de crítica social, mas antes pela ruptura com a ideia tradicional de espaço pictórico. Nas usas próprias palavras, pretendia «actuar no lapso entre a arte e a vida». Rauschenberg incorporou objectos quotidianos nos seus trabalhos tão naturalmente como muitos outros artistas usaram tradicionalmente a tinta. Figura de vanguarda, e convicto dessa condição, respondeu por telegrama à galerista parisiense Iris Clert quanto ao pedido de um retrato: «Isto é um retrato de Iris Clert se eu disser que o é». Robert Rauschenberg nasceu em Port Arthur, Texas,(EUA) em 1925.

Robert Rauschenberg was born Milton Rauschenberg on October 22, 1925, in Port Arthur, Texas. He began to study pharmacology at the University of Texas at Austin before being drafted into the United States navy, where he served as a neuropsychiatric technician in the navy hospital corps in San Diego. In 1947, he enrolled at the Kansas City Art Institute and traveled to Paris to study at the Académie Julian the following year. In the fall of 1948, he returned to the United States to study under Josef Albers at Black Mountain College, near Asheville, North Carolina, which he continued to attend intermittently through 1952. While taking classes at the Art Students League, New York, from 1949 to 1951, Rauschenberg was offered his first solo exhibition at the Betty Parsons Gallery. Some of the works from this period included blueprints, monochromatic white paintings, and black paintings. From the fall of 1952 to the spring of 1953, he traveled to Europe and North Africa with Cy Twombly, whom he had met at the Art Students League. During his travels, Rauschenberg worked on a series of small collages, hanging assemblages, and small boxes filled with found elements, which he exhibited in Rome and Florence. Upon his return to New York in 1953, Rauschenberg completed his series of black paintings, using newspaper as the ground, and began work on sculptures created from wood, stones, and other materials found on the streets; paintings made with tissue paper, dirt, or gold leaf; and more conceptually oriented works such as Automobile Tire Print (1953) and Erased de Kooning Drawing (1953). By the end of 1953, he had begun his Red Painting series on canvases that incorporated newspapers, fabric, and found objects and evolved in 1954 into the Combines, a term Rauschenberg coined for his well-known works that integrated aspects of painting and sculpture and would often include such objects as a stuffed eagle or goat, street signs, or a quilt and pillow. In late 1953, he met Jasper Johns, with whom he is considered the most influential of artists who reacted against Abstract Expressionism [more]. The two artists had neighboring studios, regularly exchanging ideas and discussing their work, until 1961. Rauschenberg began to silkscreen paintings in 1962. He had his first career retrospective, organized by the Jewish Museum, New York, in 1963 and was awarded the Grand Prize for Painting at the 1964 Venice Biennale. He spent much of the remainder of the 1960s dedicated to more collaborative projects including printmaking, Performance [more], choreography, set design, and art-and-technology works. In 1966, he cofounded Experiments in Art and Technology, an organization that sought to promote collaborations between artists and engineers. In 1970, Rauschenberg established a permanent residence and studio in Captiva, Florida, where he still lives. A retrospective organized by the National Collection of Fine Arts, Washington, D.C., traveled throughout the United States in 1976–78. Rauschenberg continued to travel widely, embarking on a number of collaborations with artisans and workshops abroad, which culminated in the Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange (ROCI) project from 1985 to 1991. In 1997, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, exhibited the largest retrospective of Rauschenberg’s work to date, which traveled to Houston and to Europe in 1998.

De 1881 a 1884, Karl Blossfeldt concluiu o seu estágio como escultor e modelador numa fundição de arte, recebendo uma bolsa para estudar na escola do Museu Real de Belas Artes e Ofícios da Prússia em Berlim. Durante numerosas viagens de estudo à zona do Mediterrâneo, criou reproduções de plantas para fins educativos e também as primeiras fotografias de plantas vivas. Em 1898, começou a dar aulas na Faculdade de Artes e Ofícios em Berlim, onde estabeleceu um arquivo de chapas de fotografias de plantas para uso nas suas actividades lectivas: «Modelar com base em plantas vivas», «A Planta nas Artes e Ofícios», etc. Continuou a expandir esse arquivo com a ajuda de muitas viagens adicionais. O seu livro As Formas Originais da Arte foi publicado em 1928, dois anos depois da primeira exposição, tornando-o famoso do dia para a noite. O segundo livro, Jardins Maravilhosos da Natureza, foi publicado pouco antes da sua morte em 1932. Karl Blossfeldt nasceu em Schielo, Alemanha em 1865 e morreu em Berlim, Alemanha, em 1932.
.......................................................................................................
Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) was a German instructor of sculpture who used his remarkable photographs of plant studies to educate his students about design elements in nature. Self-taught in photography, he devoted himself to the study of nature, photographing nothing but flowers, buds and seed capsules for thirty-five years. He once said, "The plant never lapses into mere arid functionalism; it fashions and shapes according to logic and suitability, and with its primeval force compels everything to attain the highest artistic form." Blossfeldt's photographs were made with a homemade camera that could magnify the subject up to thirty times its actual size. By doing so he revealed extraordinary details within the natural structure of the plants. In the process he created some of the most innovative photographic work of his time. The simple yet expressive forms captured on film affirmed his boundless artistic and intellectual ability. Published in 1928 when Blossfeldt was sixty-three and a professor of applied art at the Berliner Kunsthochschule, Urformen der Kunst quickly became an international bestseller and in turn made Blossfeldt famous almost overnight. His contemporaries were enchanted by the abstract shapes and structures in nature that he revealed to the world. In 2001 Urformen der Kunst was included in "The Book of 101 Books" as one of the seminal photographic books of the Twentieth Century.
