Estate (1963)
Robert Rauschenberg is well known for using non-traditional materials and objects to make useful in various combinations. He used contrasting images such as Statue of Liberty, Michelangelo's painting (Last Judgment), a 1962 rocket launch, and a glass of water in the artwork above. It's a distant approach that he took by incorporating photography and painting into one canvas. However, the idea of creating a collage from newspaper photographs, art reproductions, and his own snapshots to canvas is pretty interesting. The overall artwork is very eye catching and unique. I believe it's pretty impressive because you don't see much of this form of artwork and being able to make it work.
