Label TextUsing imagery sourced from newspapers, magazines, and his own photographs, Robert Rauschenberg presents a somewhat mysterious composition. If the traffic signs, Coca-Cola logo, stenciled letters, and street scene feels a little overwhelming, then Rauschenberg’s work is delivering on its goal. Instead of replicating the intentions of advertising and street signs—succinctly communicating a specific message—he chose instead to create a murkier work that visualizes the constant barrage of information experienced in daily life.

A partir de imágenes que toma de periódicos, revistas y fotografías propias, Robert Rauschenberg presenta una composición algo misteriosa. Si las señales de tránsito, el logo de Coca-Cola, las letras estarcidas y las escenas callejeras le abruman, entonces esta obra de Rauschenberg cumple su objetivo. En lugar de reproducir las intenciones de la publicidad y la cartelería pública, las cuales comunican mensajes de manera sintética, el artista ha elegido crear un trabajo más rebuscado, que muestra el bombardeo constante de información que experimentamos en la vida diaria.
