The artwork titled “Soviet American Array VI” was created by the artist Robert Rauschenberg in 1988. It belongs to the Neo-Dada art movement and is categorized under the figurative genre. This piece is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art, located in Washington, DC, US.
The artwork is a vivid collage composed of various photographic images and graphics, executed in a spectrum of colors such as green, red, blue, and yellow. Each segment of the collage features different scenes and objects, ranging from a storefront labeled “Perfect Travel” to abstract designs and portraits. The juxtaposition of these disparate elements creates a rich tapestry, characteristic of Rauschenberg’s approach, which often explores the convergence of American and Soviet cultures. The use of repeated patterns and the contrast between mundane and significant imagery compel viewers to engage with the diverse visual narratives presented.
