“Sky Garden (Stoned Moon)” is a collage artwork created by the acclaimed artist Robert Rauschenberg in 1968. This piece is associated with the Pop Art and Neo-Dada movements and falls under the genre of figurative art.
The artwork prominently features a collage that intricately combines technical schematics of a spacecraft with evocative imagery of palm trees and a striking celestial scene. The central motif is the blueprint-like depiction of a rocket, annotated with various technical terms and labels. Surrounding this, a vivid mix of red and blue tones creates a dynamic and almost surreal backdrop, juxtaposing organic and mechanical elements. The inclusion of palm trees and a launching rocket suggests a unique interplay between nature and technological advancement, characteristic of Rauschenberg’s experimental style. The use of vibrant colors and mixed media reflects both Pop Art’s embrace of popular culture and Neo-Dada’s interest in breaking traditional artistic boundaries.
