Robert Rauschenberg Analysis

 Robert Rauschenberg - Fest
Robert Rauschenberg was born in Texas and died in Florida. He uses a variety of mediums, such as paint and photos. 
In this piece, titled "Fest", shows a collage of a back pocket of someone's jeans on the top half and on the bottom half, it shows a sort of wall advertisement. The colours used are mainly blue, yellow, orange and grey. The piece looks as though it has all been done on one layer. It also looks as though it has been done with paints however, the piece has actually been done in 4 colour lithograph. 
I think this piece has been composed so that we will be instantly drawn to the bright colours used in the bottom half of the piece. This then beomes the focus but then we are drawn to the top half of the piece which uses darker colours so this piece is very contradictory.
