Order : Robert Rauschenberg and the Neo-Avant-Garde
by Branden W. Joseph
Book Description: Robert Rauschenberg is one of the most important
visual artists of the second half of the twentieth century. In Random Order,
Branden Joseph examines Rauschenberg's work in the context of the American
neo-avant-garde. One of the foundations of his study is Rauschenberg's
professional relationship with experimental composer John Cage. From the
moment of their encounter at Black Mountain College in 1952, Joseph argues,
Rauschenberg and Cage initiated a new avant-garde project, one that approached
the idea of difference not in terms of negation but as a positive force.
Claiming that Rauschenberg's work cannot be understood solely from the
standpoint of the Frankfurt School--whose theories have dominated discussions
of avant-garde and neo-avant-garde aesthetics--Joseph turns to the theoretical
positions of Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Derrida. Rauschenberg's neo-avant-garde
was not a simple repetition of earlier avant-garde movements, Joseph shows,
but a series of practices that opposed the rise of postwar spectacle, commodification,
and mass conformity. Beginning with the White Paintings, Joseph examines
Rauschenberg?s artistic development from 1951 to 1971. He looks at the
black paintings, Red Paintings, Elemental Paintings and Elemental Sculptures,
Combines and Combine paintings, transfer drawings and silkscreens, performances,
and explorations in art and technology. Joseph?s study not only offers
new interpretations of Rauschenberg?s work, but also deepens our understanding
of the entire neo-avant-garde project.

Rauschenberg: Breaking Boundaries
by Robert Saltonstall Mattison, Robert Rauschenberg
Book Description: Robert Rauschenberg, one of the most prolific
and influential artists of the postwar period, has created an astonishing
variety of works during a career spanning more than fifty years. To illuminate
the meaning of Rauschenberg's art and the reasons behind his artistic choices,
Robert Mattison in this book focuses closely on a small selection of the
artist's projects. Mattison offers an interpretation of Rauschenberg's
output that is both original and uniquely insightful, based on extensive
research and first-hand observation of the artist at work in his studio.
Like Rauschenberg's own work, the book ranges across a variety of disciplines.
Mattison relates the artist's output to the visual arts, politics, technology,
dance, urban theory, and other intriguing contemporary issues. The book
examines Rauschenberg's working process, the effect of his dyslexia on
his art, his seminal Combine paintings of the 1950s, fascination with the
"space race," and collaboration with well-known choreographer Trisha Brown.
A final chapter explores the art Rauschenberg exhibited in Chile during
the dangerous and repressive rule of dictator Augusto Pinochet.
