“Banner (Stoned Moon)” is a figurative collage by Robert Rauschenberg, created in 1969 during the Neo-Dada art movement. The artwork features a central element: a reproduction of the Great Seal of the State of Florida depicted over a background of bright oranges. The seal is surrounded by a blue, painterly, abstract border. This striking combination of vibrant colors and contrasting textures exemplifies Rauschenberg’s innovative approach to combining everyday objects and imagery with traditional artistic techniques. The juxtaposition of the state seal and the oranges suggests a commentary on regional identity and consumer culture.
