“Individual (From 7 Characters)” is an artwork created by Robert Rauschenberg in 1982. It is an assemblage that belongs to the Neo-Dada art movement and fits within the installation genre.
The artwork features a combination of elements arranged in a deliberate and visually engaging manner. Positioned centrally at the top is a collage-like assemblage comprising a fan and other patterned shapes. Below this, the composition includes what appears to be three-dimensional white strokes resembling calligraphic characters, providing a dynamic texture to the piece. Additionally, the artwork includes some stamped red seals and patterned bands, introducing hints of cultural and possibly personal significance. At the bottom, there is a round fan adorned with intricate floral designs, connected by a blue-green strip that runs vertically through the piece. The artist’s signature, “Rauschenberg 82,” is marked near the bottom center, underscoring its authenticity and origin.
