This art piece is called Mother of God. It was created in the 1950's and it's in the early times of Robert Rauschenberg artistic career during the possibility of what the destruction of the atomic bomb could have during the Cold War. This piece is a round solid white circle on top of pieces of city maps and a small newspaper clipping which is on the bottom right hand corner. This piece is simple yet powerful almost signifying what is missing, or what was destroyed. It captures my attention because it's simplicity is most profound and complex.
