Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg came on the scene in the 1940s and made a name for himself with the idea of the combine. He not only blurred the lines, he eliminated the distinctions between media as he combined painting and sculpture. Later, in the 1950s he began making plain white paintings, but in 1953, he came up with an idea for something more revolutionary and even more empty than a plain white canvas.
