The artwork is titled “Canyon,” created by artist Robert Rauschenberg in 1959. This piece is a mixed media installation associated with the Neo-Dada art movement. It is currently housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.
“Canyon” is characterized by its eclectic combination of materials and objects, which create a bold and dynamic composition. Prominent in the artwork is a taxidermy eagle, which projects three-dimensionally from the canvas, juxtaposed with a variety of other elements including fabric scraps, paper, paint, and other found objects. The artwork showcases Rauschenberg’s innovative approach to art-making, blending traditional and non-traditional materials to challenge the boundaries of art. The overall effect is both visually and conceptually striking, reflecting the essence of Neo-Dada’s playful and experimental spirit.
